Follow your cloud provider's guides to deploy FastAPI apps with them. 🤓

## Deploy your own server { #deploy-your-own-server }

# GraphQL { #graphql }

As **FastAPI** is based on the **ASGI** standard, it's very easy to integrate any **GraphQL** library also compatible with ASGI.

You can combine normal FastAPI *path operations* with GraphQL on the same application.

/// tip

**GraphQL** solves some very specific use cases.

It has **advantages** and **disadvantages** when compared to common **web APIs**.

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

/// check | Testen

Beachten Sie, dass der Wert, den Ihre Funktion erhält und zurückgibt, die Zahl `3` ist, also ein `int`. Nicht der String „3“, also ein `str`.

Sprich, mit dieser Typdeklaration wird **FastAPI** den <dfn title="Den String, der von einem HTTP-Request kommt, in Python-Daten konvertieren">„parsen“</dfn>.

///

    fun createRetry(): FakePlan {
      check(retry == null)
      return FakePlan(nextPlanId++)
        .also {
          retry = it
        }
    }

    fun createConnectTcpNextPlan(): FakePlan {
      check(connectTcpNextPlan == null)
      return FakePlan(nextPlanId++)
        .also {
          connectTcpNextPlan = it
        }
    }

    fun createConnectTlsNextPlan(): FakePlan {

/// info

The parameter `response_class` will also be used to define the "media type" of the response.

In this case, the HTTP header `Content-Type` will be set to `text/html`.

And it will be documented as such in OpenAPI.

///

### Return a `Response` { #return-a-response }

As seen in [Return a Response directly](response-directly.md), you can also override the response directly in your *path operation*, by returning it.

* Es gibt ein Unterverzeichnis `app/routers/` mit einer weiteren Datei `__init__.py`, es handelt sich also um ein „Python-Subpackage“: `app.routers`.
* Die Datei `app/routers/items.py` befindet sich in einem Package, `app/routers/`, also ist sie ein Submodul: `app.routers.items`.
* Das Gleiche gilt für `app/routers/users.py`, es ist ein weiteres Submodul: `app.routers.users`.

**FastAPI** is fully compatible with (and based on) [**Pydantic**](https://docs.pydantic.dev/). So, any additional Pydantic code you have, will also work.

Including external libraries also based on Pydantic, as <abbr title="Object-Relational Mapper">ORM</abbr>s, <abbr title="Object-Document Mapper">ODM</abbr>s for databases.

# Using Dataclasses { #using-dataclasses }

FastAPI is built on top of **Pydantic**, and I have been showing you how to use Pydantic models to declare requests and responses.

But FastAPI also supports using [`dataclasses`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html) the same way:

{* ../../docs_src/dataclasses_/tutorial001_py310.py hl[1,6:11,18:19] *}

<img src="/img/python-types/image04.png">

Now you know that you have to fix it, convert `age` to a string with `str(age)`:

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial004_py310.py hl[2] *}

## Declaring types { #declaring-types }

You just saw the main place to declare type hints. As function parameters.
