# First Steps

The simplest FastAPI file could look like this:

```Python
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

Copy that to a file `main.py`.

Run the live server:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ <font color="#4E9A06">fastapi</font> dev <u style="text-decoration-style:single">main.py</u>
<font color="#3465A4">INFO    </font> Using path <font color="#3465A4">main.py</font>

    - istio-proxy container exists and
        - does not have DISABLE_ENVOY environment variable (which triggers proxyless mode)
        - has a istio-proxy container, with first 2 args "proxy" and "sidecar" - or less then 2 args, or first arg not proxy.
        - "sidecar.istio.io/inject" is not false
        - "sidecar.istio.io/status" exists

### Redirect API

We may ask you to answer these questions directly in the GitHub issue or (for large changes) in a shared Google Doc.

If you are looking for good first issues, take a look at the list of [good first issues](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/labels/good%20first%20issue) that should be actionable and ready for a contribution.

### Security vulnerabilities

#### `lru_cache` Technical Details

`@lru_cache` modifies the function it decorates to return the same value that was returned the first time, instead of computing it again, executing the code of the function every time.

    This is where we'll put the `requirements.txt` file and the `app` directory.

3. Copy the file with the requirements to the `/code` directory.

    Copy **only** the file with the requirements first, not the rest of the code.

    As this file **doesn't change often**, Docker will detect it and use the **cache** for this step, enabling the cache for the next step too.
