`secrets.compare_digest()` needs to take `bytes` or a `str` that only contains ASCII characters (the ones in English), this means it wouldn't work with characters like `á`, as in `Sebastián`.

To handle that, we first convert the `username` and `password` to `bytes` encoding them with UTF-8.

```Python hl_lines="3  5  22"
{!../../../docs_src/sql_databases_peewee/sql_app/database.py!}
```

!!! tip
    Keep in mind that if you wanted to use a different database, like PostgreSQL, you couldn't just change the string. You would need to use a different Peewee database class.

#### Note

The argument:

```Python
check_same_thread=False
```

is equivalent to the one in the SQLAlchemy tutorial:

                """
                The bytes to write to the file.
                """
            ),
        ],
    ) -> None:
        """
        Write some bytes to the file.

        You normally wouldn't use this from a file you read in a request.

        To be awaitable, compatible with async, this is run in threadpool.
        """
        return await super().write(data)

    async def read(
        self,

All of the cashiers doing all the work with one client after the other 👨‍💼⏯.

And you have to wait 🕙 in the line for a long time or you lose your turn.

You probably wouldn't want to take your crush 😍 with you to do errands at the bank 🏦.

### Burger Conclusion

OAuth2 specifies that when using the "password flow" (that we are using) the client/user must send a `username` and `password` fields as form data.

And the spec says that the fields have to be named like that. So `user-name` or `email` wouldn't work.

But don't worry, you can show it as you wish to your final users in the frontend.

And your database models can use any other names you want.

## Editor support

In your editor, inside your function you will get type hints and completion everywhere (this wouldn't happen if you received a `dict` instead of a Pydantic model):

You also get error checks for incorrect type operations:

#### Docker Compose

You could be deploying to a **single server** (not a cluster) with **Docker Compose**, so you wouldn't have an easy way to manage replication of containers (with Docker Compose) while preserving the shared network and **load balancing**.

# Alternatives, Inspiration and Comparisons

What inspired **FastAPI**, how it compares to alternatives and what it learned from them.

## Intro

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

There have been many tools created before that have helped inspire its creation.
