Then the next concepts to consider are all about the program running your actual API (e.g. Uvicorn).

## Program and Process

We will talk a lot about the running "**process**", so it's useful to have clarity about what it means, and what's the difference with the word "**program**".

### What is a Program

The word **program** is commonly used to describe many things:

And then, there would be another program (in some cases it's another program, in some cases it could be the same TLS Termination Proxy) that would talk to Let's Encrypt, and renew the certificate(s).

The **TLS certificates** are **associated with a domain name**, not with an IP address.

You can also create an environment variable only for a specific program invocation, that is only available to that program, and only for its duration.

To do that, create it right before the program itself, on the same line:

<div class="termy">

```console
// Create an env var MY_NAME in line for this program call
$ MY_NAME="Wade Wilson" python main.py

// Now it can read the environment variable

## Server Machine and Server Program

There's a small detail about names to keep in mind. 💡

The word "**server**" is commonly used to refer to both the remote/cloud computer (the physical or virtual machine) and also the program that is running on that machine (e.g. Uvicorn).

## 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.

    $ export MY_NAME="Wade Wilson"

    // Then you could use it with other programs, like
    $ echo "Hello $MY_NAME"

    Hello Wade Wilson
    ```

    </div>

=== "🚪 📋"

    <div class="termy">

    ```console
    // Create an env var MY_NAME
    $ $Env:MY_NAME = "Wade Wilson"

    // Use it with other programs, like
    $ echo "Hello $Env:MY_NAME"

    Hello Wade Wilson
    ```

Also, Couchbase recommends not using a single `Bucket` object in multiple "<abbr title="A sequence of code being executed by the program, while at the same time, or at intervals, there can be others being executed too.">thread</abbr>s", so, we can just get the bucket directly and pass it to our utility functions:

```Python hl_lines="49-53"

## Motivation

Let's start with a simple example:

```Python
{!../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001.py!}
```

Calling this program outputs:

```
John Doe
```

The function does the following:

* Takes a `first_name` and `last_name`.
* Converts the first letter of each one to upper case with `title()`.

```Python hl_lines="2"
{!../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial001.py!}
```

### Düzenle

Bu çok basit bir program.

Ama şimdi sıfırdan yazdığınızı hayal edin.

Bir noktada fonksiyonun tanımına başlayacaktınız, parametreleri hazır hale getirdiniz...

Ama sonra "ilk harfi büyük harfe dönüştüren yöntemi" çağırmanız gerekir.
