These features are what Marshmallow was built to provide. It is a great library, and I have used it a lot before.

But it was created before there existed Python type hints. So, to define every <abbr title="the definition of how data should be formed">schema</abbr> you need to use specific utils and classes provided by Marshmallow.

!!! check "Inspired **FastAPI** to"
    Use code to define "schemas" that provide data types and validation, automatically.

    hashed_password: str


def get_user(db, username: str):
    if username in db:
        user_dict = db[username]
        return UserInDB(**user_dict)


def fake_decode_token(token):
    # This doesn't provide any security at all
    # Check the next version
    user = get_user(fake_users_db, token)
    return user


async def get_current_user(token: Annotated[str, Depends(oauth2_scheme)]):

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`.

And it shows their true commitment to FastAPI and its **community** (you), as they not only want to provide you a **good service** but also want to make sure you have a **good and healthy framework**, FastAPI. 🙇

# Deploy FastAPI on Cloud Providers

You can use virtually **any cloud provider** to deploy your FastAPI application.

In most of the cases, the main cloud providers have guides to deploy FastAPI with them.

## Cloud Providers - Sponsors

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

    !!! tip
        Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

    ```Python hl_lines="10"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/security/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

This dependency will provide a `str` that is assigned to the parameter `token` of the *path operation function*.

**FastAPI** will know that it can use this dependency to define a "security scheme" in the OpenAPI schema (and the automatic API docs).

By doing that, your editor can provide support even while processing items from the list:

<img src="/img/python-types/image05.png">

Without types, that's almost impossible to achieve.

Notice that the variable `item` is one of the elements in the list `items`.

And still, the editor knows it is a `str`, and provides support for that.

#### Tuple and Set

    hashed_password: str


def get_user(db, username: str):
    if username in db:
        user_dict = db[username]
        return UserInDB(**user_dict)


def fake_decode_token(token):
    # This doesn't provide any security at all
    # Check the next version
    user = get_user(fake_users_db, token)
    return user


async def get_current_user(token: str = Depends(oauth2_scheme)):
    user = fake_decode_token(token)
