It is a project from the Linux Foundation. It provides **HTTPS certificates for free**, in an automated way. These certificates use all the standard cryptographic security, and are short-lived (about 3 months), so the **security is actually better** because of their reduced lifespan.

The domains are securely verified and the certificates are generated automatically. This also allows automating the renewal of these certificates.

For example, it was clear that ideally it should be based on standard Python type hints.

Also, the best approach was to use already existing standards.

So, before even starting to code **FastAPI**, I spent several months studying the specs for OpenAPI, JSON Schema, OAuth2, etc. Understanding their relationship, overlap, and differences.

# Sub Applications - Mounts { #sub-applications-mounts }

If you need to have two independent FastAPI applications, with their own independent OpenAPI and their own docs UIs, you can have a main app and "mount" one (or more) sub-application(s).

## Mounting a **FastAPI** application { #mounting-a-fastapi-application }

* ⬆ Bump dawidd6/action-download-artifact from 3.0.0 to 3.1.4. PR [#11310](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/11310) by [@dependabot[bot]](https://github.com/apps/dependabot).
* ♻️ Refactor computing FastAPI People, include 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, based on comment date, not discussion date. PR [#11304](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/11304) by [@tiangolo](https://github.com/tiangolo).

and then it won't include it in the OpenAPI schema.

## Mounting a sub-application { #mounting-a-sub-application }

If you need to mount a sub-application (as described in [Sub Applications - Mounts](sub-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}) while also using a proxy with `root_path`, you can do it normally, as you would expect.

"_[...] Estoy usando **FastAPI** un montón estos días. [...] De hecho, estoy planeando usarlo para todos los servicios de **ML de mi equipo en Microsoft**. Algunos de ellos se están integrando en el núcleo del producto **Windows** y algunos productos de **Office**._"
