It's optional to use it, but that's where you would put the user's identification, so we are using it here.

JWT might be used for other things apart from identifying a user and allowing them to perform operations directly on your API.

For example, you could identify a "car" or a "blog post".

Then you could add permissions about that entity, like "drive" (for the car) or "edit" (for the blog).

But Gunicorn supports working as a **process manager** and allowing users to tell it which specific **worker process class** to use. Then Gunicorn would start one or more **worker processes** using that class.

And **Uvicorn** has a **Gunicorn-compatible worker class**.

Enforces that all incoming requests have a correctly set `Host` header, in order to guard against HTTP Host Header attacks.

The following arguments are supported:

But when checking benchmarks and comparisons you should keep the following in mind.

## Benchmarks and speed

When you check the benchmarks, it is common to see several tools of different types compared as equivalent.

## Available versions

You can see the available versions (e.g. to check what is the current latest) in the [Release Notes](../release-notes.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## About versions

Following the Semantic Versioning conventions, any version below `1.0.0` could potentially add breaking changes.

FastAPI also follows the convention that any "PATCH" version change is for bug fixes and non-breaking changes.

!!! tip

* By using a dependency you can simplify testing.
* You can use `.env` files with it.

* Update `scripts/test-cov-html.sh` to allow passing extra parameters like `-vv`, for development.
