!!! note "Technical Details"
    ASGI is a new "standard" being developed by Django core team members. It is still not a "Python standard" (a PEP), although they are in the process of doing that.

* 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**.

    * The information about the **specific domain** requested goes in the **HTTP data**.
* The **HTTPS certificates** "certify" a **certain domain**, but the protocol and encryption happen at the TCP level, **before knowing** which domain is being dealt with.
* **By default**, that would mean that you can only have **one HTTPS certificate per IP address**.
    * No matter how big your server is or how small each application you have on it might be.

```

And the proxy would be **"stripping"** the **path prefix** on the fly before transmitting the request to the app server (probably Uvicorn via FastAPI CLI), keeping your application convinced that it is being served at `/app`, so that you don't have to update all your code to include the prefix `/api/v1`.

Up to here, everything would work as normally.

```

In the output, there's a line with something like:

```hl_lines="4"
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```

That line shows the URL where your app is being served, in your local machine.

### Check it

Open your browser at <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000</a>.

You will see the JSON response as:

Instead of that, by being an "asynchronous" system, once finished, the task can wait in line a little bit (some microseconds) for the computer / program to finish whatever it went to do, and then come back to take the results and continue working with them.

I love to hear about how **FastAPI** is being used, what you have liked in it, in which project/company are you using it, etc.

## Vote for FastAPI

!!! tip
    This will just make Peewee behave correctly when used with FastAPI. Not randomly opening or closing connections that are being used, creating errors, etc.

    But it doesn't give Peewee async super-powers. You should still use normal `def` functions and not `async def`.

### Use the custom `PeeweeConnectionState` class

```Python
q: str | None = Query(default=None)
```

...makes the parameter optional, with a default value of `None`, the same as:

```Python
q: str | None = None
```

But it declares it explicitly as being a query parameter.

!!! info
    Keep in mind that the most important part to make a parameter optional is the part:

    ```Python
    = None
    ```

    or the:

    ```Python

In contrast to a "**container image**" that is the stored static contents, a "**container**" normally refers to the running instance, the thing that is being **executed**.
