### <a href="https://flask.palletsprojects.com" class="external-link" target="_blank">Flask</a>

Flask is a "microframework", it doesn't include database integrations nor many of the things that come by default in Django.

This simplicity and flexibility allow doing things like using NoSQL databases as the main data storage system.

Então a certo ponto, é finalmente sua vez. Você vai no balcão, pega seus hambúrgueres e volta para a mesa.

Você e seu _crush_ :heart_eyes: comem os hambúrgueres e aproveitam o tempo.

Imagine que você seja o computador  / programa nessa história.

**FastAPI** provides a convenience tool to structure your application while keeping all the flexibility.

!!! info
    If you come from Flask, this would be the equivalent of Flask's Blueprints.

## An example file structure

Let's say you have a file structure like this:

```
.
├── app
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── main.py

#### Newer versions of Python

The syntax using `typing` is **compatible** with all versions, from Python 3.6 to the latest ones, including Python 3.9, Python 3.10, etc.

As Python advances, **newer versions** come with improved support for these type annotations and in many cases you won't even need to import and use the `typing` module to declare the type annotations.

    You could also use `from starlette.responses import HTMLResponse`.

    **FastAPI** provides the same `starlette.responses` as `fastapi.responses` just as a convenience for you, the developer. But most of the available responses come directly from Starlette.

### Multiple File Uploads with Additional Metadata

And the same way as before, you can use `File()` to set additional parameters, even for `UploadFile`:

=== "Python 3.9+"

If you are helping a lot of people with their questions, you will become an official [FastAPI Expert](fastapi-people.md#fastapi-experts){.internal-link target=_blank}. 🎉

Just remember, the most important point is: try to be kind. People come with their frustrations and in many cases don't ask in the best way, but try as best as you can to be kind. 🤗

So, during that time, the computer can go and do some other work, while "slow-file" 📝 finishes.

Then the computer / program 🤖 will come back every time it has a chance because it's waiting again, or whenever it 🤖 finished all the work it had at that point. And it 🤖 will see if any of the tasks it was waiting for have already finished, doing whatever it had to do.

!!! info
    Of course, the actual `Content-Type` header, status code, etc, will come from the `Response` object you returned.

### Document in OpenAPI and override `Response`

For example (depending on your setup) you could have some tool like a Prometheus exporter in the same container that should have access to **each of the requests** that come.
