In this case, the original path `/app` would actually be served at `/api/v1/app`.

Even though all your code is written assuming there's just `/app`.

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

In this case, it would be better to get **one extra server** and run some processes on it so that they all have **enough RAM and CPU time**.

If you have many settings that possibly change a lot, maybe in different environments, it might be useful to put them on a file and then read them from it as if they were environment variables.

This practice is common enough that it has a name, these environment variables are commonly placed in a file `.env`, and the file is called a "dotenv".

!!! tip
    A file starting with a dot (`.`) is a hidden file in Unix-like systems, like Linux and macOS.

Here are some examples of when that could make sense:

#### A Simple App

You could want a process manager in the container if your application is **simple enough** that you don't need (at least not yet) to fine-tune the number of processes too much, and you can just use an automated default (with the official Docker image), and you are running it on a **single server**, not a cluster.
