Billing Server

We need to add new billing process on to our Server.

Here is brief description, more details, sample Database tables are available on request.

Billing is used to charge user for sending messages. Billing server accepts messages from users, each message among other parameters contains destination number to send the message to. Database contains credit amount for each user (users table) and price for each user and destination (billing table). Server accepts message of each user, checks in the database if user has enough credit to send to the specific destination, then checks if user has permission to send to that destination (checks billing table) and stores the message in queue table if those conditions satisfied, otherwise rejects the message.

Server periodically reads billing table into memory for each active user, and removes biling table from memory of inactive users for more than 30 minutes. Server must be written in C++ for Linux platform using libc. Communication is made via sockets, multithreading via pthreads library, database is PostgreSQL so libpq or pqxx must be used. Billing accepts data in Base64 format so functions used for this must be given with source code and license which allows free commercial or non-commercial use. Server should process data in thread-pool manner; that means, data received from client sockets should be stored in queue waiting for processing by fixed number of threads.
