### Technical Details: `root_path`

When you mount a sub-application as described above, FastAPI will take care of communicating the mount path for the sub-application using a mechanism from the ASGI specification called a `root_path`.

That way, the sub-application will know to use that path prefix for the docs UI.

## Using the `jsonable_encoder` in a `Response`

Because **FastAPI** doesn't do any change to a `Response` you return, you have to make sure it's contents are ready for it.

For example, you cannot put a Pydantic model in a `JSONResponse` without first converting it to a `dict` with all the data types (like `datetime`, `UUID`, etc) converted to JSON-compatible types.

```Python hl_lines="16  19"
{!../../../docs_src/events/tutorial003.py!}
```

Hier simulieren wir das langsame *Hochfahren*, das Laden des Modells, indem wir die (Fake-)Modellfunktion vor dem `yield` in das Dictionary mit Modellen für maschinelles Lernen einfügen. Dieser Code wird ausgeführt, **bevor** die Anwendung **beginnt, Requests entgegenzunehmen**, während des *Hochfahrens*.

# Deployment

Deploying a **FastAPI** application is relatively easy.

## What Does Deployment Mean

To **deploy** an application means to perform the necessary steps to make it **available to the users**.

For a **web API**, it normally involves putting it in a **remote machine**, with a **server program** that provides good performance, stability, etc, so that your **users** can **access** the application efficiently and without interruptions or problems.

## `fastapi dev`

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

By default, it will have **auto-reload** enabled, so it will automatically reload the server when you make changes to your code. This is resource intensive and could be less stable than without it, you should only use it for development.

        Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

    {!> ../../../docs_src/websockets/tutorial002.py!}
    ```

!!! info
    As this is a WebSocket it doesn't really make sense to raise an `HTTPException`, instead we raise a `WebSocketException`.

!!! warning
    If you are not an "expert" in OpenAPI, you probably don't need this.

You can set the OpenAPI `operationId` to be used in your *path operation* with the parameter `operation_id`.

You would have to make sure that it is unique for each operation.

```Python hl_lines="6"
{!../../../docs_src/path_operation_advanced_configuration/tutorial001.py!}
```

### Using the *path operation function* name as the operationId

## OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect is another specification, based on **OAuth2**.

It just extends OAuth2 specifying some things that are relatively ambiguous in OAuth2, to try to make it more interoperable.

For example, Google login uses OpenID Connect (which underneath uses OAuth2).

But Facebook login doesn't support OpenID Connect. It has its own flavor of OAuth2.

### OpenID (not "OpenID Connect")

For this, use the Python standard module <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html" class="external-link" target="_blank">`secrets`</a> to check the username and password.

`secrets.compare_digest()` needs to take `bytes` or a `str` that only contains ASCII characters (the ones in English), this means it wouldn't work with characters like `á`, as in `Sebastián`.

!!! tip
    Keep in mind that if you return a response directly instead of using the `Response` parameter, FastAPI will return it directly.

    So, you will have to make sure your data is of the correct type. E.g. it is compatible with JSON, if you are returning a `JSONResponse`.

    And also that you are not sending any data that should have been filtered by a `response_model`.
