## Client and SDK Generators - Sponsor

There are also some **company-backed** Client and SDK generators based on OpenAPI (FastAPI), in some cases they can offer you **additional features** on top of high-quality generated SDKs/clients.

Some of them also ✨ [**sponsor FastAPI**](../help-fastapi.md#sponsor-the-author){.internal-link target=_blank} ✨, this ensures the continued and healthy **development** of FastAPI and its **ecosystem**.

* In many cases, it's better to understand their **underlying problem or use case**, because there might be a better way to solve it than what they are trying to do.

### Ask to close

If they reply, there's a high chance you would have solved their problem, congrats, **you're a hero**! 🦸

* Now, if that solved their problem, you can ask them to:

    * In GitHub Discussions: mark the comment as the **answer**.

For production you would use `fastapi run` instead. 🚀

Internally, **FastAPI CLI** uses <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a>, a high-performance, production-ready, ASGI server. 😎

## `fastapi dev`

When you run `fastapi dev`, it will run on development mode.
