* The **file** that can be **executed** by the operating system, for example: `python`, `python.exe` or `uvicorn`.
* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system, using the CPU, and storing things on memory. This is also called a **process**.

### What is a Process

The word **process** is normally used in a more specific way, only referring to the thing that is running in the operating system (like in the last point above):

## Einfach und leistungsstark

Obwohl das hierarchische Dependency Injection System sehr einfach zu definieren und zu verwenden ist, ist es dennoch sehr mächtig.

Sie können Abhängigkeiten definieren, die selbst wiederum Abhängigkeiten definieren können.

    "Operating System :: OS Independent",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "Programming Language :: Python",
    "Topic :: Internet",
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks",
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules",
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries",
    "Topic :: Software Development",
    "Typing :: Typed",

That way, you can create a token with an expiration of, let's say, 1 week. And then when the user comes back the next day with the token, you know that user is still logged in to your system.

    Then APIStar stopped to exist as a server and Starlette was created, and was a new better foundation for such a system. That was the final inspiration to build **FastAPI**.

    I consider **FastAPI** a "spiritual successor" to APIStar, while improving and increasing the features, typing system, and other parts, based on the learnings from all these previous tools.

## Used by **FastAPI**

# Get Current User

In the previous chapter the security system (which is based on the dependency injection system) was giving the *path operation function* a `token` as a `str`:

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="12"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/security/tutorial001_an_py39.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="11"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/security/tutorial001_an.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.8+ non-Annotated"

## Dependency Injection

Die Verwendung von `BackgroundTasks` funktioniert auch mit dem <abbr title="Einbringen von Abhängigkeiten">Dependency Injection</abbr> System. Sie können einen Parameter vom Typ `BackgroundTasks` auf mehreren Ebenen deklarieren: in einer *Pfadoperation-Funktion*, in einer Abhängigkeit (Dependable), in einer Unterabhängigkeit usw.

{!../../../docs_src/nosql_databases/tutorial001.py!}
```

## Recap

You can integrate any third party NoSQL database, just using their standard packages.

* Selbst Abhängigkeiten können Abhängigkeiten haben, woraus eine Hierarchie oder ein **„Graph“ von Abhängigkeiten** entsteht.
* Alles **automatisch gehandhabt** durch das Framework.

All this renewal process, while still serving the app, is one of the main reasons why you would want to have a **separate system to handle HTTPS** with a TLS Termination Proxy instead of just using the TLS certificates with the application server directly (e.g. Uvicorn).
