Many packages that simplify it a lot have to make many compromises with the data model, database, and available features. And some of these packages that simplify things too much actually have security flaws underneath.

---

**FastAPI** doesn't make any compromise with any database, data model or tool.

It gives you all the flexibility to choose the ones that fit your project the best.

Import the `Response` class (sub-class) you want to use and declare it in the *path operation decorator*.

For large responses, returning a `Response` directly is much faster than returning a dictionary.

Having the return model ensure that a value is always available and always `int` (not `None`) is very useful for the API clients, they can write much simpler code having this certainty.

Also, **automatically generated clients** will have simpler interfaces, so that the developers communicating with your API can have a much better time working with your API. 😎

Your server(s) is (are) a **resource**, you can consume or **utilize**, with your programs, the computation time on the CPUs, and the RAM memory available.

How much of the system resources do you want to be consuming/utilizing? It might be easy to think "not much", but in reality, you will probably want to consume **as much as possible without crashing**.

      // timed out. e.g. if we weren't event able to grab the lock within the timeout we would never
      // even check the guard. I don't think we care too much about this use case but it could lead
      // to a confusing error message.
      throw new TimeoutException("Timed out waiting for " + this + " to reach the RUNNING state.");
    }
  }

This way, containers consume **little resources**, an amount comparable to running the processes directly (a virtual machine would consume much more).

Containers also have their own **isolated** running processes (commonly just one process), file system, and network, simplifying deployment, security, development, etc.
