## Investigation { #investigation }

# Classes as Dependencies { #classes-as-dependencies }

Before diving deeper into the **Dependency Injection** system, let's upgrade the previous example.

## A `dict` from the previous example { #a-dict-from-the-previous-example }

In the previous example, we were returning a `dict` from our dependency ("dependable"):

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[9] *}

/// tip

Also, keep in mind that depending on your setup, in some cases you **might not even need any previous steps** before starting your application.

In that case, you wouldn't have to worry about any of this. 🤷

Let's check back those deployment concepts from before:

* Security - HTTPS
* Running on startup
* Restarts
* **Replication (the number of processes running)**
* Memory
* Previous steps before starting

Up to this point, with all the tutorials in the docs, you have probably been running a **server program**, for example, using the `fastapi` command, that runs Uvicorn, running a **single process**.
