## Previous Steps Before Starting

There are many cases where you want to perform some steps **before starting** your application.

For example, you might want to run **database migrations**.

But in most cases, you will want to perform these steps only **once**.

So, you will want to have a **single process** to perform those **previous steps**, before starting the application.

		Queries can be inclusive or exclusive of the upper and lower bounds.
		If you want to find documents whose content_length fields have values
		between 1000 and 10000, inclusive, you can enter:
		<pre>content_length:[1000 TO 10000]</pre>
		If you want to exclude the upper and lower bounds, use "{}".

And it shows their true commitment to FastAPI and its **community** (you), as they not only want to provide you a **good service** but also want to make sure you have a **good and healthy framework**, FastAPI. 🙇

You might want to try their services and follow their guides:

		t.Fatalf("Stat failed: %v", err)

	}
	if want := "102"; srcLineNo != want {
		t.Fatalf("line number = %v; want %s", srcLineNo, want)
	}
}

// This is line 101. The test depends on that.

                `None`.

                This is useful when you want to have optional authentication.

                It is also useful when you want to have authentication that can be
                provided in one of multiple optional ways (for example, in a query
                parameter or in an HTTP Bearer token).

This means that you can send only the data that you want to update, leaving the rest intact.

/// note

`PATCH` is less commonly used and known than `PUT`.

And many teams use only `PUT`, even for partial updates.

You are **free** to use them however you want, **FastAPI** doesn't impose any restrictions.

But this guide shows you, more or less, how they are intended to be used.
