# Bigger Applications - Multiple Files { #bigger-applications-multiple-files }

If you are building an application or a web API, it's rarely the case that you can put everything in a single file.

**FastAPI** provides a convenience tool to structure your application while keeping all the flexibility.

If you come from Flask, this would be the equivalent of Flask's Blueprints.

* А файл `app/internal/admin.py` является ещё одним суб-модулем: `app.internal.admin`.

Та же самая файловая структура приложения, но с комментариями:

### Multiple Applications { #multiple-applications }

In the same server (or servers), there could be **multiple applications**, for example, other API programs or a database.

And the `items_per_user` would keep its default value of `50`.

## Settings in another module { #settings-in-another-module }

You could put those settings in another module file as you saw in [Bigger Applications - Multiple Files](../tutorial/bigger-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

For example, you could have a file `config.py` with:

{* ../../docs_src/settings/app01/config.py *}

And then use it in a file `main.py`:

the generation of temporary credentials with pre-defined access policies for applications/users to interact with MinIO object storage.

Calling AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity does not require the use of MinIO root or IAM credentials. Therefore, you can distribute an application (for example, on mobile devices) that requests temporary security credentials without including MinIO long lasting credentials in the application. Instead, the identity of the caller is validated by using a JWT id_token from...
