The main thing you need to run a **FastAPI** application (or any other ASGI application) in a remote server machine is an ASGI server program like **Uvicorn**, this is the one that comes by default in the `fastapi` command.

There are several alternatives, including:

# Generate Clients

As **FastAPI** is based on the OpenAPI specification, you get automatic compatibility with many tools, including the automatic API docs (provided by Swagger UI).

One particular advantage that is not necessarily obvious is that you can **generate clients** (sometimes called <abbr title="Software Development Kits">**SDKs**</abbr> ) for your API, for many different **programming languages**.

## About proxies with a stripped path prefix

Keep in mind that a proxy with stripped path prefix is only one of the ways to configure it.

Probably in many cases the default will be that the proxy doesn't have a stripped path prefix.

次の章では、FastAPIアプリケーションをデプロイするための**具体的なレシピ**を紹介します。

しかし、今はこれらの重要な**コンセプトに基づくアイデア**を確認しましょう。これらのコンセプトは、他のどのタイプのWeb APIにも当てはまります。💡

## セキュリティ - HTTPS

[前チャプターのHTTPSについて](https.md){.internal-link target=_blank}では、HTTPSがどのようにAPIを暗号化するのかについて学びました。

通常、アプリケーションサーバにとって**外部の**コンポーネントである**TLS Termination Proxy**によって提供されることが一般的です。このプロキシは通信の暗号化を担当します。

    three_months_ago = now - timedelta(days=90)
    six_months_ago = now - timedelta(days=180)
    one_year_ago = now - timedelta(days=365)

    for discussion in discussion_nodes:

In this case, it would be better to get **one extra server** and run some processes on it so that they all have **enough RAM and CPU time**.

│   │   ├── items.py
│   │   └── users.py
│   └── internal
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── admin.py
```

!!! tip
    There are several `__init__.py` files: one in each directory or subdirectory.

    This is what allows importing code from one file into another.

    For example, in `app/main.py` you could have a line like:

    ```
    from app.routers import items
    ```

# Sub Applications - Mounts

If you need to have two independent FastAPI applications, with their own independent OpenAPI and their own docs UIs, you can have a main app and "mount" one (or more) sub-application(s).

## Mounting a **FastAPI** application

"Mounting" means adding a completely "independent" application in a specific path, that then takes care of handling everything under that path, with the _path operations_ declared in that sub-application.
