Here the `app` variable will be an "instance" of the class `FastAPI`.

This will be the main point of interaction to create all your API.

### Step 3: create a *path operation*

#### Path

"Path" here refers to the last part of the URL starting from the first `/`.

So, in a URL like:

```
https://example.com/items/foo
```

...the path would be:

```
/items/foo
```

!!! info

    ```console
    $ hypercorn main:app --bind 0.0.0.0:80

    Running on 0.0.0.0:8080 over http (CTRL + C to quit)
    ```

    </div>

!!! note
    The command `uvicorn main:app` refers to:

    * `main`: the file `main.py` (the Python "module").
    * `app`: the object created inside of `main.py` with the line `app = FastAPI()`.

    It is equivalent to:

    ```Python

Enquanto você espera, você vai com seu _crush_ :heart_eyes: e pega uma mesa, senta e conversa com seu _crush_ :heart_eyes: por um bom tempo (como seus hambúrgueres são muito saborosos, leva um tempo para serem preparados).

Enquanto você está sentado na mesa com seu _crush_ :heart_eyes:, esperando os hambúrgueres, você pode gastar o tempo admirando como lindo, maravilhoso e esperto é seu _crush_ :heart_eyes:.

    !!! tip
        Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

    ```Python hl_lines="6"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/security/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

!!! tip
    Here `tokenUrl="token"` refers to a relative URL `token` that we haven't created yet. As it's a relative URL, it's equivalent to `./token`.

* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system.
    * This doesn't refer to the file, nor to the code, it refers **specifically** to the thing that is being **executed** and managed by the operating system.
* Any program, any code, **can only do things** when it is being **executed**. So, when there's a **process running**.

Next, it 🤖 takes the first task to finish (let's say, our "slow-file" 📝) and continues whatever it had to do with it.

That "wait for something else" normally refers to <abbr title="Input and Output">I/O</abbr> operations that are relatively "slow" (compared to the speed of the processor and the RAM memory), like waiting for:

* the data from the client to be sent through the network

In contrast to a "**container image**" that is the stored static contents, a "**container**" normally refers to the running instance, the thing that is being **executed**.
