That would work for most of the cases. 😎

You could use that command for example to start your **FastAPI** app in a container, in a server, etc.

## ASGI Servers

Let's go a little deeper into the details.

FastAPI uses a standard for building Python web frameworks and servers called <abbr title="Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface">ASGI</abbr>. FastAPI is an ASGI web framework.

        }
      }
      // This is safe because we checked `expirationNanos`.
      return uncheckedCastNullableTToT(value);
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
      // This is a little strange if the unit the user provided was not NANOS,
      // but we don't want to store the unit just for toString
      return "Suppliers.memoizeWithExpiration(" + delegate + ", " + durationNanos + ", NANOS)";
    }

This way, containers consume **little resources**, an amount comparable to running the processes directly (a virtual machine would consume much more).

	// Privileged ISA

	// 3.2.1: Environment Call and Breakpoint
	ECALL						// 73000000
	SCALL						// 73000000
	EBREAK						// 73001000
	SBREAK						// 73001000

	// Arbitrary bytes (entered in little-endian mode)
	WORD	$0x12345678	// WORD $305419896	// 78563412
	WORD	$0x9abcdef0	// WORD $2596069104	// f0debc9a

	// MOV pseudo-instructions
	MOV	X5, X6					// 13830200
	MOV	$2047, X5				// 9302f07f

If you are paying for 3 servers but you are using only a little bit of their RAM and CPU, you are probably **wasting money** 💸, and probably **wasting server electric power** 🌎, etc.

            // if the class is defined as a type alias. We can detect that situation when the constructed type
            // is different from the return type of the constructor.
            //
            // TODO: This seems a little indirect. Is there a better way to do this? For FE1.0 there is
            // a special `TypeAliasConstructorDescriptor` for this case. For FIR there is

**Typer** is FastAPI's little sibling. And it's intended to be the **FastAPI of CLIs**. ⌨️ 🚀

## Requirements

FastAPI stands on the shoulders of giants:

This is just a **quick tutorial / refresher** about Python type hints. It covers only the minimum necessary to use them with **FastAPI**... which is actually very little.

**FastAPI** is all based on these type hints, they give it many advantages and benefits.

But even if you never use **FastAPI**, you would benefit from learning a bit about them.

!!! note

Instead of that, by being an "asynchronous" system, once finished, the task can wait in line a little bit (some microseconds) for the computer / program to finish whatever it went to do, and then come back to take the results and continue working with them.

It doesn't use a data validation, serialization and documentation third-party library like Pydantic, it has its own. So, these data type definitions would not be reusable as easily.

It requires a little bit more verbose configurations. And as it is based on WSGI (instead of ASGI), it is not designed to take advantage of the high performance provided by tools like Uvicorn, Starlette and Sanic.
