* 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).

This is because FastAPI uses this `root_path` to create the default `server` in OpenAPI with the URL provided by `root_path`.

## Additional servers

!!! warning
    This is a more advanced use case. Feel free to skip it.

By default, **FastAPI** will create a `server` in the OpenAPI schema with the URL for the `root_path`.

* `@app.post()`
* `@app.put()`
* `@app.delete()`

And the more exotic ones:

* `@app.options()`
* `@app.head()`
* `@app.patch()`
* `@app.trace()`

!!! tip
    You are free to use each operation (HTTP method) as you wish.

    **FastAPI** doesn't enforce any specific meaning.

    The information here is presented as a guideline, not a requirement.

But then **<a href="https://letsencrypt.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Let's Encrypt</a>** was created.

It is a project from the Linux Foundation. It provides **HTTPS certificates for free**, in an automated way. These certificates use all the standard cryptographic security, and are short-lived (about 3 months), so the **security is actually better** because of their reduced lifespan.

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**.

### Don't use the chat for questions

Keep in mind that as chats allow more "free conversation", it's easy to ask questions that are too general and more difficult to answer, so, you might not receive answers.

@asynccontextmanager

    # blocking __exit__ from running waiting on a free thread
    # can create race conditions/deadlocks if the context manager itself
    # has its own internal pool (e.g. a database connection pool)
    # to avoid this we let __exit__ run without a capacity limit

## Description avancée de docstring

Vous pouvez limiter le texte utilisé de la docstring d'une *fonction de chemin* qui sera affiché sur OpenAPI.

L'ajout d'un `\f` (un caractère d'échappement "form feed") va permettre à **FastAPI** de tronquer la sortie utilisée pour OpenAPI à ce stade.

Il n'apparaîtra pas dans la documentation, mais d'autres outils (tel que Sphinx) pourront utiliser le reste.

```Python hl_lines="19-29"

!!! warning
    If you are just starting, the tutorial [SQL (Relational) Databases](../tutorial/sql-databases.md){.internal-link target=_blank} that uses SQLAlchemy should be enough.

    Feel free to skip this.

    Peewee is not recommended with FastAPI as it doesn't play well with anything async Python. There are several better alternatives.

    These docs assume Pydantic v1.
