FastAPI to nowoczesny, wydajny framework webowy do budowania API z użyciem Pythona bazujący na standardowym typowaniu Pythona.

Kluczowe cechy:

* **Wydajność**: FastAPI jest bardzo wydajny, na równi z **NodeJS** oraz **Go** (dzięki Starlette i Pydantic). [Jeden z najszybszych dostępnych frameworków Pythonowych](#wydajnosc).
* **Szybkość kodowania**: Przyśpiesza szybkość pisania nowych funkcjonalności o około 200% do 300%. *

* Any program, any code, **can only do things** when it is being **executed**. So, when there's a **process running**.
* The process can be **terminated** (or "killed") by you, or by the operating system. At that point, it stops running/being executed, and it can **no longer do things**.

## Mounting a sub-application

If you need to mount a sub-application (as described in [Sub Applications - Mounts](sub-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}) while also using a proxy with `root_path`, you can do it normally, as you would expect.

    * Swagger UI.
    * ReDoc.

---

Voltando ao código do exemplo anterior, **FastAPI** irá:

* Validar que existe um `item_id` na rota para requisições `GET` e `PUT`.
* Validar que `item_id` é do tipo `int` para requisições `GET` e `PUT`.
    * Se não é validado, o cliente verá um útil, claro erro.

### Creating the `Settings` only once with `lru_cache`

Reading a file from disk is normally a costly (slow) operation, so you probably want to do it only once and then re-use the same settings object, instead of reading it for each request.

But every time we do:

```Python
Settings()
```

a new `Settings` object would be created, and at creation it would read the `.env` file again.

## Build a Docker Image for FastAPI

Okay, let's build something now! 🚀

I'll show you how to build a **Docker image** for FastAPI **from scratch**, based on the **official Python** image.

This is what you would want to do in **most cases**, for example:

* Using **Kubernetes** or similar tools
* When running on a **Raspberry Pi**
* Using a cloud service that would run a container image for you, etc.

### Package Requirements

### Recap

In summary, you declare **once** the types of parameters, body, etc. as function parameters.

You do that with standard modern Python types.

You don't have to learn a new syntax, the methods or classes of a specific library, etc.

Just standard **Python**.

For example, for an `int`:

```Python
