* **FastAPI**:
    * The same way that Starlette uses Uvicorn and cannot be faster than it, **FastAPI** uses Starlette, so it cannot be faster than it.
    * FastAPI provides more features on top of Starlette. Features that you almost always need when building APIs, like data validation and serialization. And by using it, you get automatic documentation for free (the automatic documentation doesn't even add overhead to running applications, it is generated on startup).

        with:
          name: coverage-html
          path: htmlcov

  # https://github.com/marketplace/actions/alls-green#why

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Dump GitHub context
        env:
          GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}

    Again, you can combine `dataclasses` with standard type annotations.

8. Notice that this *path operation function* uses regular `def` instead of `async def`.

    As always, in FastAPI you can combine `def` and `async def` as needed.

## Running on Startup

In most cases, when you create a web API, you want it to be **always running**, uninterrupted, so that your clients can always access it. This is of course, unless you have a specific reason why you want it to run only in certain situations, but most of the time you want it constantly running and **available**.

Similarly, you cannot redefine a path operation:

```Python hl_lines="6  11"
{!../../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial003b.py!}
```

The first one will always be used since the path matches first.

## Predefined values

```Python hl_lines="1  4"
{!../../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial009.py!}
```

Using `Optional[str]` instead of just `str` will let the editor help you detecting errors where you could be assuming that a value is always a `str`, when it could actually be `None` too.

`Optional[Something]` is actually a shortcut for `Union[Something, None]`, they are equivalent.

This also means that in Python 3.10, you can use `Something | None`:

            default_factory=default_factory,

            alias_priority=alias_priority,
            validation_alias=validation_alias,
            serialization_alias=serialization_alias,

            description=description,
            gt=gt,

            lt=lt,
