* The process can be **terminated** (or "killed") by you, or by the operating system. At that point, it stops running/being executed, and it can **no longer do things**.
* Each application that you have running on your computer has some process behind it, each running program, each window, etc. And there are normally many processes running **at the same time** while a computer is on.

* `dependencies`: they all need that `X-Token` dependency we created.

So, instead of adding all that to each *path operation*, we can add it to the `APIRouter`.

```Python hl_lines="5-10  16  21" title="app/routers/items.py"
{!../../../docs_src/bigger_applications/app/routers/items.py!}
```

As the path of each *path operation* has to start with `/`, like in:

```Python hl_lines="1"
@router.get("/{item_id}")

    ```

This means:

* The variable `prices` is a `dict`:
    * The keys of this `dict` are of type `str` (let's say, the name of each item).
    * The values of this `dict` are of type `float` (let's say, the price of each item).

#### Union

You can declare that a variable can be any of **several types**, for example, an `int` or a `str`.

```

## Metadata for tags

You can also add additional metadata for the different tags used to group your path operations with the parameter `openapi_tags`.

It takes a list containing one dictionary for each tag.

Each dictionary can contain:

* `name` (**required**): a `str` with the same tag name you use in the `tags` parameter in your *path operations* and `APIRouter`s.

That way, the TLS Termination Proxy could handle HTTPS and certificates for **multiple domains**, for multiple applications, and then transmit the requests to the right application in each case.

### Certificate Renewal

At some point in the future, each certificate would **expire** (about 3 months after acquiring it).

If you try interacting with any of the two user interfaces, they will work correctly, because the browser will be able to talk to each specific app or sub-app.

### Technical Details: `root_path`

It will take the `dict` at `result.value`, and take each of its keys and values and pass them as key-values to `UserInDB` as keyword arguments.

So, if the `dict` contains:

```Python
{
    "username": "johndoe",
    "hashed_password": "some_hash",
}
```

Especially including efforts that are normally less visible, and in many cases more arduous, like helping others with questions and reviewing Pull Requests with translations.

Here I'm also highlighting contributions from sponsors.

The sequence of execution before FastAPI 0.106.0 was like this diagram:

Time flows from top to bottom. And each column is one of the parts interacting or executing code.
