"description": "Successful Response",
                            "content": {"application/json": {"schema": {}}},
                        },

First, create the main, top-level, **FastAPI** application, and its *path operations*:

```Python hl_lines="3  6-8"
{!../../../docs_src/sub_applications/tutorial001.py!}
```

### Sub-application

Then, create your sub-application, and its *path operations*.

This sub-application is just another standard FastAPI application, but this is the one that will be "mounted":

```Python hl_lines="11  14-16"

[19511] [INFO] Started server process [19511]
[19511] [INFO] Waiting for application startup.
[19511] [INFO] Application startup complete.
[19513] [INFO] Started server process [19513]
[19513] [INFO] Waiting for application startup.
[19513] [INFO] Application startup complete.
[19514] [INFO] Started server process [19514]
[19514] [INFO] Waiting for application startup.
[19514] [INFO] Application startup complete.
[19515] [INFO] Started server process [19515]

The client will get a **500 Internal Server Error** for that request, but the application will continue working for the next requests instead of just crashing completely.

### Bigger Errors - Crashes

Nevertheless, there might be cases where we write some code that **crashes the entire application** making Uvicorn and Python crash. 💥

# Bigger Applications - Multiple Files

If you are building an application or a web API, it's rarely the case that you can put everything on a single file.

**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

application/mac-binhex40       hqx              # Macintosh binhexed archives
application/mspowerpoint       ppt              # Microsoft Powerpoint
application/msword             doc              # Microsoft Word
application/octet-stream       bin exe ani      # Binary File
application/oda                oda
application/pagemaker          pm5 pt5 pm       # PageMaker
application/pdf                pdf              # Adobe Acrobat

### Threads

#### Application's calling thread

The application-layer must block on writing I/O. We can't return from a write until we've pushed its bytes onto the socket. Otherwise, if the write fails we are unable to deliver its IOException to the application. We would have told the application layer that the write succeeded, but it didn't!
