configured to be connected and work together in some way.">cluster</dfn> of machines with **Kubernetes**, Docker Swarm Mode, Nomad, or another similar complex system to manage distributed containers on multiple machines, then you will probably want to **handle replication** at the **cluster level** instead of using a **process manager** (like Uvicorn with workers) in each container.

One of those distributed container management systems like Kubernetes normally has some integrated way of handling...

There's a team of people that help manage and maintain the project. 😎

They have different levels of permissions and [specific instructions](./management-tasks.md).

Some of the tasks they can perform include:

* Adding labels to PRs.
* Editing PR titles.
* Adding commits on top of PRs to tweak them.
* Mark answers in GitHub Discussions questions, etc.
* Merge some specific types of PRs.

# Other Tools

## uv

If uv is available, use it to manage dependencies.

## Ruff

If Ruff is available, use it to lint and format the code. Consider enabling the FastAPI rules.

## ty

If ty is available, use it to check types.

## Asyncer

When needing to run blocking code inside of async functions, or async code inside of blocking functions, suggest using Asyncer.

Prefer it over AnyIO or asyncio.

Install:

```txt
fastapi[standard]>=0.112.0,<0.113.0
```

that would mean that you would use the versions `0.112.0` or above, but less than `0.113.0`, for example, a version `0.112.2` would still be accepted.

If you use any other tool to manage your installations, like `uv`, Poetry, Pipenv, or others, they all have a way that you can use to define specific versions for your packages.

## Available versions { #available-versions }

# Repository Management Tasks

These are the tasks that can be performed to manage the FastAPI repository by [team members](./fastapi-people.md#team).

/// tip

This section is useful only to a handful of people, team members with permissions to manage the repository. You can probably skip it. 😉

///

...so, you are a [team member of FastAPI](./fastapi-people.md#team)? Wow, you are so cool! 😎

* Help [manage the repository](management-tasks.md) (team members).

All these tasks help maintain the repository.

A round of applause to them. 👏 🙇

## Team

This is the current list of team members. 😎

They have different levels of involvement and permissions, they can perform [repository management tasks](./management-tasks.md) and together we  [manage the FastAPI repository](./management.md).

 *
 * <p>This class provides methods to initialize settings, get and set individual settings,
 * and manage various types of settings such as array settings, analyzer settings, bad word settings,
 * and elevate word settings.</p>
 *
 * <p>It also includes a nested TimeoutSettings class to manage various timeout configurations.</p>
 *
 * <p>Usage example:</p>
 * <pre>
 * {@code
 * Client client = ...;

Once you are ready and want to use a tool to **manage the entire project**, packages dependencies, virtual environments, etc. I would suggest you try [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv).

`uv` can do a lot of things, it can:

* **Install Python** for you, including different versions
* Manage the **virtual environment** for your projects
* Install **packages**
* Manage package **dependencies and versions** for your project

# FastAPI CLI { #fastapi-cli }

**FastAPI <abbr title="command line interface">CLI</abbr>** is a command line program that you can use to serve your FastAPI app, manage your FastAPI project, and more.

When you install FastAPI (e.g. with `pip install "fastapi[standard]"`), it comes with a command line program you can run in the terminal.

To run your FastAPI app for development, you can use the `fastapi dev` command:
