* The **file** that can be **executed** by the operating system, for example: `python`, `python.exe` or `uvicorn`.
* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system, using the CPU, and storing things on memory. This is also called a **process**.

### What is a Process

The word **process** is normally used in a more specific way, only referring to the thing that is running in the operating system (like in the last point above):

## Einfach und leistungsstark

Obwohl das hierarchische Dependency Injection System sehr einfach zu definieren und zu verwenden ist, ist es dennoch sehr mächtig.

Sie können Abhängigkeiten definieren, die selbst wiederum Abhängigkeiten definieren können.

That way, you can create a token with an expiration of, let's say, 1 week. And then when the user comes back the next day with the token, you know that user is still logged in to your system.

    Then APIStar stopped to exist as a server and Starlette was created, and was a new better foundation for such a system. That was the final inspiration to build **FastAPI**.

    I consider **FastAPI** a "spiritual successor" to APIStar, while improving and increasing the features, typing system, and other parts, based on the learnings from all these previous tools.

## Used by **FastAPI**

# Get Current User

In the previous chapter the security system (which is based on the dependency injection system) was giving the *path operation function* a `token` as a `str`:
