# Run a Server Manually

## Use the `fastapi run` Command

In short, use `fastapi run` to serve your FastAPI application:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ <font color="#4E9A06">fastapi</font> run <u style="text-decoration-style:single">main.py</u>
<font color="#3465A4">INFO    </font> Using path <font color="#3465A4">main.py</font>

Here I'm also highlighting contributions from sponsors.

* Restarts
* Replication (the number of processes running)
* Memory
* Previous steps before starting

We'll see how they would affect **deployments**.

In the end, the ultimate objective is to be able to **serve your API clients** in a way that is **secure**, to **avoid disruptions**, and to use the **compute resources** (for example remote servers/virtual machines) as efficiently as possible. 🚀

```Python hl_lines="9"
{!../../../docs_src/query_params_str_validations/tutorial002.py!}
```

Note que substituímos o valor padrão de `None` para `Query(default=None)`, o primeiro parâmetro de `Query` serve para o mesmo propósito: definir o valor padrão do parâmetro.

Então:

```Python
q: Union[str, None] = Query(default=None)
```

...Torna o parâmetro opcional, da mesma maneira que:

```Python

    * This SNI extension allows one single server (with a **single IP address**) to have **several HTTPS certificates** and serve **multiple HTTPS domains/applications**.
    * For this to work, a **single** component (program) running on the server, listening on the **public IP address**, must have **all the HTTPS certificates** in the server.

```JSON
{"item_id":3}
```

!!! check "Revisa"
    Observa que el valor que recibió (y devolvió) tu función es `3`, como un Python `int`, y no un string `"3"`.

Dieses können Sie dann mit dem Befehl `serve` bereitstellen:

<div class="termy">

```console
// Verwenden Sie das Kommando „serve“ nachdem Sie „build-all“ ausgeführt haben.
$ python ./scripts/docs.py serve

Warning: this is a very simple server. For development, use mkdocs serve instead.

# Static Files - `StaticFiles`

You can use the `StaticFiles` class to serve static files, like JavaScript, CSS, images, etc.

Read more about it in the [FastAPI docs for Static Files](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/static-files/).

You can import it directly from `fastapi.staticfiles`:

```python
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles
```
