## Running on Startup

In most cases, when you create a web API, you want it to be **always running**, uninterrupted, so that your clients can always access it. This is of course, unless you have a specific reason why you want it to run only in certain situations, but most of the time you want it constantly running and **available**.

### In a Remote Server

# Set execution platform to Linux x86
# Note: Lot of the "host_" flags such as "host_cpu" and "host_crosstool_top"
# flags seem to be actually used to specify the execution platform details. It
# seems it is this way because these flags are old and predate the distinction
# between host and execution platform.
build:cross_compile_base --host_cpu=k8

That would work for most of the cases. 😎

You could use that command for example to start your **FastAPI** app in a container, in a server, etc.

## ASGI Servers

Let's go a little deeper into the details.

### Documentation

Provides cross-cutting Gradle documentation and samples, along with the infrastructure to write, test, publish and host the documentation.

## Structure

Each platform and module has its own source directory under [platforms/](../platforms).
In these source directories, you will find the Gradle projects that make up the platform or module.

types (such as multimap and multiset), immutable collections, a graph library,
and utilities for concurrency, I/O, hashing, primitives, strings, and more! It
is widely used on most Java projects within Google, and widely used by many
other companies as well.



Guava comes in two flavors:

*   The JRE flavor requires JDK 1.8 or higher.
*   If you need support for Android, use

While building an API, the "path" is the main way to separate "concerns" and "resources".

#### Operation

"Operation" here refers to one of the HTTP "methods".

One of:

* `POST`
* `GET`
* `PUT`
* `DELETE`

...and the more exotic ones:

* `OPTIONS`
* `HEAD`
* `PATCH`
* `TRACE`

### Configuration cache enabled by default

The build of Gradle enables the configuration cache by default as a dogfooding experiment.

Most tasks that are used to build Gradle support the configuration cache, but some don't. For example, building the documentation currently requires you to disable the configuration cache.
