This decoupling of parts, and being a "microframework" that could be extended to cover exactly what is needed was a key feature that I wanted to keep.

Given the simplicity of Flask, it seemed like a good match for building APIs. The next thing to find was a "Django REST Framework" for Flask.

And of course, the same machine would probably have **other processes** running as well, apart from your application.

An interesting detail is that the percentage of the **CPU used** by each process can **vary** a lot over time, but the **memory (RAM)** normally stays more or less **stable**.

participant dep as Dep with yield
participant operation as Path Operation
participant tasks as Background tasks

    Note over client,tasks: Can raise exception for dependency, handled after response is sent
    Note over client,operation: Can raise HTTPException and can change the response
    client ->> dep: Start request
    Note over dep: Run code up to yield
    opt raise
        dep -->> handler: Raise HTTPException

This will be especially useful when you use it in a **large code base** where you use **the same dependencies** over and over again in **many *path operations***.

## To `async` or not to `async`

As dependencies will also be called by **FastAPI** (the same as your *path operation functions*), the same rules apply while defining your functions.

    !!! tip
        Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

    ```Python hl_lines="12"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

Using `UploadFile` has several advantages over `bytes`:

* You don't have to use `File()` in the default value of the parameter.
* It uses a "spooled" file:
    * A file stored in memory up to a maximum size limit, and after passing this limit it will be stored in disk.

participant dep as Abhängigkeit mit yield
participant operation as Pfadoperation
participant tasks as Hintergrundtasks

    Note over client,operation: Kann Exceptions auslösen, inklusive HTTPException
    client ->> dep: Startet den Request
    Note over dep: Führt den Code bis zum yield aus
    opt Löst Exception aus
        dep -->> handler: Löst Exception aus
        handler -->> client: HTTP-Error-Response
