* If you are comparing Uvicorn, compare it against Daphne, Hypercorn, uWSGI, etc. Application servers.
* **Starlette**:
    * Will have the next best performance, after Uvicorn. In fact, Starlette uses Uvicorn to run. So, it probably can only get "slower" than Uvicorn by having to execute more code.

It's the most popular Python framework and is widely trusted. It is used to build systems like Instagram.

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.

After having that NPM `generate-client` script there, you can run it with:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ npm run generate-client

frontend-app@1.0.0 generate-client /home/user/code/frontend-app

The `root_path` is used to handle these specific cases.

And it's also used internally when mounting sub-applications.

## Proxy with a stripped path prefix

Having a proxy with a stripped path prefix, in this case, means that you could declare a path at `/app` in your code, but then, you add a layer on top (the proxy) that would put your **FastAPI** application under a path like `/api/v1`.

Here are some possible combinations and strategies:

* **Gunicorn** managing **Uvicorn workers**
    * Gunicorn would be the **process manager** listening on the **IP** and **port**, the replication would be by having **multiple Uvicorn worker processes**.
* **Uvicorn** managing **Uvicorn workers**
    * One Uvicorn **process manager** would listen on the **IP** and **port**, and it would start **multiple Uvicorn worker processes**.

    * You can also add [`Security` dependencies with `scopes`](../advanced/security/oauth2-scopes.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

!!! tip
    Having `dependencies` in the `APIRouter` can be used, for example, to require authentication for a whole group of *path operations*. Even if the dependencies are not added individually to each one of them.

!!! check

* Allow having empty paths in *path operations* used with `include_router` and a `prefix`.
    * This allows having a router for `/cats` and all its *path operations*, while having one of them for `/cats`.
    * Now it doesn't have to be only `/cats/` (with a trailing slash).

Eu estive evitando a criação de um novo _framework_ por vários anos. Primeiro tentei resolver todas as funcionalidades cobertas por **FastAPI** usando muitos _frameworks_, _plug-ins_ e ferramentas diferentes.

    ```Python hl_lines="10"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/query_params_str_validations/tutorial002_an.py!}
    ```

Notice that the default value is still `None`, so the parameter is still optional.

With **FastAPI** you can take the advantage of concurrency that is very common for web development (the same main attraction of NodeJS).

But you can also exploit the benefits of parallelism and multiprocessing (having multiple processes running in parallel) for **CPU bound** workloads like those in Machine Learning systems.
