## What Does Deployment Mean { #what-does-deployment-mean }

To **deploy** an application means to perform the necessary steps to make it **available to the users**.

For a **web API**, it normally involves putting it in a **remote machine**, with a **server program** that provides good performance, stability, etc, so that your **users** can **access** the application efficiently and without interruptions or problems.

    // If we successfully add the computed element, we're done.
    val newTags = tags.plus(type, computed)
    if (compareAndSet(tags, newTags)) return computed

    // We lost the race. Possibly to other code that was putting a *different* key. Try again!

### `Union` in Python 3.10 { #union-in-python-3-10 }

In this example we pass `Union[PlaneItem, CarItem]` as the value of the argument `response_model`.

Because we are passing it as a **value to an argument** instead of putting it in a **type annotation**, we have to use `Union` even in Python 3.10.

If it was in a type annotation we could have used the vertical bar, as:

```Python
some_variable: PlaneItem | CarItem
```

We create an async function `lifespan()` with `yield` like this:

{* ../../docs_src/events/tutorial003_py39.py hl[16,19] *}

Here we are simulating the expensive *startup* operation of loading the model by putting the (fake) model function in the dictionary with machine learning models before the `yield`. This code will be executed **before** the application **starts taking requests**, during the *startup*.
