### Create a dependency, or "dependable" { #create-a-dependency-or-dependable }

Let's first focus on the dependency.

It is just a function that can take all the same parameters that a *path operation function* can take:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

That's it.

**2 lines**.

And it has the same shape and structure that all your *path operation functions* have.

import org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.ArtifactResolutionException;

/**

@Deprecated
public interface ArtifactTransformation {
    String ROLE = ArtifactTransformation.class.getName();

    /**
     * Take in an artifact and return the transformed artifact for locating in the remote repository. If no
     * transformation has occurred the original artifact is returned.
     *
     * @param artifact           Artifact to be transformed.

@Deprecated
public interface ArtifactTransformationManager {
    String ROLE = ArtifactTransformationManager.class.getName();

    /**
     * Take in an artifact and return the transformed artifact for locating in the remote repository. If no

#### Fix it with `secrets.compare_digest()` { #fix-it-with-secrets-compare-digest }

But in our code we are actually using `secrets.compare_digest()`.

In short, it will take the same time to compare `stanleyjobsox` to `stanleyjobson` than it takes to compare `johndoe` to `stanleyjobson`. And the same for the password.

Instead of that, by being an "asynchronous" system, once finished, the task can wait in line a little bit (some microseconds) for the computer / program to finish whatever it went to do, and then come back to take the results and continue working with them.

     * settings and global settings are given, the user settings take precedence.
     *

     * @return This request, never {@code null}.

Here you saw how to use multiple **workers** to **parallelize** the execution of the application, take advantage of **multiple cores** in the CPU, and be able to serve **more requests**.

From the list of deployment concepts from above, using workers would mainly help with the **replication** part, and a little bit with the **restarts**, but you still need to take care of the others:

* **Security - HTTPS**
* **Running on startup**
* ***Restarts***

protection bits added automatically to provide the regular safety for these objects up to 50% of the number of drives.
This will allow normal write operations to take place on systems that exceed the write tolerance.
