    for discussion in discussion_nodes:

In this case, it would be better to get **one extra server** and run some processes on it so that they all have **enough RAM and CPU time**.

    client = TestClient(app, cookies={"session": "fakesession"})
    with pytest.raises(WebSocketDisconnect):
        with client.websocket_connect("/items/foo/ws") as websocket:
            message = "Message one"
            websocket.send_text(message)
            data = websocket.receive_text()
            assert data == "Session cookie or query token value is: fakesession"
            data = websocket.receive_text()

│   │   ├── items.py
│   │   └── users.py
│   └── internal
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── admin.py
```

!!! tip
    There are several `__init__.py` files: one in each directory or subdirectory.

    This is what allows importing code from one file into another.

    For example, in `app/main.py` you could have a line like:

    ```
    from app.routers import items
    ```

# Sub Applications - Mounts

If you need to have two independent FastAPI applications, with their own independent OpenAPI and their own docs UIs, you can have a main app and "mount" one (or more) sub-application(s).

## Mounting a **FastAPI** application

"Mounting" means adding a completely "independent" application in a specific path, that then takes care of handling everything under that path, with the _path operations_ declared in that sub-application.

Calling this program outputs:

```
John Doe
```

The function does the following:

* Takes a `first_name` and `last_name`.
* Converts the first letter of each one to upper case with `title()`.
* <abbr title="Puts them together, as one. With the contents of one after the other.">Concatenates</abbr> them with a space in the middle.

```

### Edit it

# Define this here and not in the main mkdocs.yml file because that one is auto
# updated and written, and the script would remove the env var
INHERIT: !ENV [INSIDERS_FILE, '../en/mkdocs.no-insiders.yml']

And it can also be used by yourself, to debug, check and test the same application.

## The `password` flow

Now let's go back a bit and understand what is all that.

The `password` "flow" is one of the ways ("flows") defined in OAuth2, to handle security and authentication.

OAuth2 was designed so that the backend or API could be independent of the server that authenticates the user.
