This platform is agnostic to what kind of software is being developed.
It might be Java or Kotlin libraries running on the JVM, Gradle plugins, Android or iOS applications, C++ libraries, and so on.

This platform does not provide special support for a particular language or ecosystem.

### JVM platform

# The following section is used as base image if BASE_DISTRIBUTION=distroless
# This image is a custom built debian11 distroless image with multiarchitecture support.
# It is built on the base distroless image, with iptables binary and libraries added
# The source can be found at https://github.com/istio/distroless/tree/iptables
# This version is from commit 86c4972a9f5f245cfb382c8e1e95f176d968c882.

- Some base services that are available to code hosted by the runtime. This varies by runtime.
- Additional constraints. For example, the CLI client runtimes limit the libraries that are available to the code in that runtime, for performance reasons. 

Other modules and platforms define the services that they contribute to the runtime.

**FastAPI** is fully compatible with (and based on) <a href="https://docs.pydantic.dev/" class="external-link" target="_blank"><strong>Pydantic</strong></a>. So, any additional Pydantic code you have, will also work.

Including external libraries also based on Pydantic, as <abbr title="Object-Relational Mapper">ORM</abbr>s, <abbr title="Object-Document Mapper">ODM</abbr>s for databases.

# Tensorflow to the default, however test coverage wasn't enough to catch the
# errors.
# There is ongoing work on Bazel team's side to provide support for transitive
# shared libraries. As part of migrating to transitive shared libraries, we
# hope to provide a better mechanism for control over symbol exporting, and
# then tackle this issue again.

# TODO: Remove the following two lines once TF doesn't depend on Bazel wrapping

* More advanced (but equally easy) techniques for declaring **deeply nested JSON models** (thanks to Pydantic).
* **GraphQL** integration with <a href="https://strawberry.rocks" class="external-link" target="_blank">Strawberry</a> and other libraries.
* Many extra features (thanks to Starlette) as:
    * **WebSockets**
    * extremely easy tests based on HTTPX and `pytest`
    * **CORS**
    * **Cookie Sessions**
    * ...and more.

**default values** will be kept, your editor will help you notice missing **required arguments**, Python will require you to pass required arguments at **runtime**, you will be able to **use the same functions** for different things and with different libraries (e.g. **Typer** will soon support `Annotated` too, then you could use the same function for an API and a CLI), etc.

Because `Annotated` is **standard Python**, you still get all the **benefits** from editors and tools, like **autocompletion**,...
