"_We adopted the **FastAPI** library to spawn a **REST** server that can be queried to obtain **predictions**. [for Ludwig]_"

    @Override
    public int compare(@CheckForNull Object left, @CheckForNull Object right) {
      if (left == right) {
        return 0;
      } else if (left == null) {
        return -1;
      } else if (right == null) {
        return 1;
      }
      int leftCode = identityHashCode(left);
      int rightCode = identityHashCode(right);
      if (leftCode != rightCode) {
        return leftCode < rightCode ? -1 : 1;

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. 🙇

For example, you might want to try:

* <a href="https://speakeasy.com/?utm_source=fastapi+repo&utm_medium=github+sponsorship" class="external-link" target="_blank">Speakeasy</a>

            "five", 5,
            "six", 6,
            "seven", 7,
            "eight", 8),
        "one",
        1,
        "two",
        2,
        "three",
        3,
        "four",
        4,
        "five",
        5,
        "six",
        6,
        "seven",
        7,
        "eight",
        8);
    assertMapEquals(
        ImmutableMap.of(
            "one", 1,

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. 💥

* Extension points that plugins might expose

h3. The plugin manager may have to deal with particular actions when a plugin is

* installation
* activation
* update
* deactivation
* un-installation

When a plugin is installed we may want to check the license and make users agree. We may also want to unpack the given plugin in a particular location.

Keep in mind that this means that the whole contents will be stored in memory. This will work well for small files.

But there are several cases in which you might benefit from using `UploadFile`.

## File Parameters with `UploadFile`

Define a file parameter with a type of `UploadFile`:

//// tab | Python 3.9+

```Python hl_lines="14"

enum ContextDevicePlacementPolicy {
  // Running operations with input tensors on the wrong device will fail.
  DEVICE_PLACEMENT_EXPLICIT = 0,
  // Copy the tensor to the right device but log a warning.
  DEVICE_PLACEMENT_WARN = 1,
  // Silently copy the tensor, which has a performance cost since the operation
  // will be blocked till the copy completes. This is the default policy.
