## **FastAPI** compatibility { #fastapi-compatibility }

The simplicity of the dependency injection system makes **FastAPI** compatible with:

* all the relational databases
* NoSQL databases
* external packages
* external APIs
* authentication and authorization systems
* API usage monitoring systems
* response data injection systems
* etc.

## Simple and Powerful { #simple-and-powerful }

By using them, you can take advantage of all these standard-based tools, including these interactive documentation systems.

OpenAPI defines the following security schemes:

* `apiKey`: an application specific key that can come from:
    * A query parameter.
    * A header.
    * A cookie.
* `http`: standard HTTP authentication systems, including:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
```

This means that the system should look for programs in the directories:

* `/usr/local/bin`
* `/usr/bin`
* `/bin`
* `/usr/sbin`
* `/sbin`

```

This means that the system should look for programs in the directories:

It can be used by the frontend team (that can also be yourself).

It can be used by third party applications and systems.

And it can also be used by yourself, to debug, check and test the same application.

## The `password` flow { #the-password-flow }

Now let's go back a bit and understand what is all that.

## Other data types { #other-data-types }

Here are some of the additional data types you can use:

* `UUID`:
    * A standard "Universally Unique Identifier", common as an ID in many databases and systems.
    * In requests and responses will be represented as a `str`.
* `datetime.datetime`:
    * A Python `datetime.datetime`.

		if !ok {
			return Help{}, config.Errorf("unknown sub-system %s", subSys)
		}
	}

	h, ok := config.HelpSubSysMap[subSys]
	if !ok {
		return Help{}, config.Errorf("unknown sub-system %s", subSys)
	}
	if key != "" {
		value, ok := h.Lookup(key)
		if !ok {
			return Help{}, config.Errorf("unknown key %s for sub-system %s",
				key, subSys)
		}
		h = config.HelpKVS{value}
	}

It's relatively tightly coupled with relational databases (like MySQL or PostgreSQL), so, having a NoSQL database (like Couchbase, MongoDB, Cassandra, etc) as the main store engine is not very easy.

# About FastAPI versions { #about-fastapi-versions }

**FastAPI** is already being used in production in many applications and systems. And the test coverage is kept at 100%. But its development is still moving quickly.

New features are added frequently, bugs are fixed regularly, and the code is still continuously improving.

You actually don't have users that log in to your application but robots, bots, or other systems, that have just an access token? Again, it all works the same.

Just use any kind of model, any kind of class, any kind of database that you need for your application. **FastAPI** has you covered with the dependency injection system.
