single process running those previous steps *even* if afterwards, you start **multiple processes** (multiple workers) for the application itself. If those steps were run by **multiple processes**, they would **duplicate** the work by running it on **parallel**, and if the steps were something delicate like a database migration, they could cause conflicts with each other.

Of course, there are some cases where there's no problem in running the previous steps multiple times, in that case, it's...

will have a more or less well-defined, stable, and limited amount of memory consumed by each of those containers (more than one if they are replicated).

And then you can set those same memory limits and requirements in your configurations for your container management system (for example in **Kubernetes**). That way it will be able to **replicate the containers** in the **available machines** taking into account the amount of memory needed by them, and the amount available in the machines...

And you would also use Alembic for "migrations" (that's its main job).

A "migration" is the set of steps needed whenever you change the structure of your SQLAlchemy models, add a new attribute, etc. to replicate those changes in the database, add a new column, a new table, etc.

    if route.description:
        operation["description"] = route.description
    operation_id = route.operation_id or route.unique_id
    if operation_id in operation_ids:
        message = (
            f"Duplicate Operation ID {operation_id} for function "
            + f"{route.endpoint.__name__}"
        )
        file_name = getattr(route.endpoint, "__globals__", {}).get("__file__")
        if file_name:

E então você pode definir esses mesmos limites e requisitos de memória em suas configurações para seu sistema de gerenciamento de contêineres (por exemplo, no **Kubernetes**). Dessa forma, ele poderá **replicar os contêineres** nas **máquinas disponíveis** levando em consideração a quantidade de memória necessária por eles e a quantidade disponível nas máquinas no cluster.
