When you run **multiple processes** of the same API program, they are commonly called **workers**.

## IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1. APIs marked with the `@Beta` annotation at the class or method level
are subject to change. They can be modified in any way, or even
removed, at any time. If your code is a library itself (i.e. it is
used on the CLASSPATH of users outside your own control), you should
not use beta APIs, unless you [repackage] them. **If your
code is a library, we strongly recommend using the [Guava Beta Checker] to

/**
 * <p>The <dfn>local repository</dfn> is a directory on the developer's machine where

 * If the artifacts are found locally, Maven uses them directly, which speeds

A middleware doesn't have to be made for FastAPI or Starlette to work, as long as it follows the ASGI spec.

In general, ASGI middlewares are classes that expect to receive an ASGI app as the first argument.

So, in the documentation for third-party ASGI middlewares they will probably tell you to do something like:

```Python

       * all inputs for exceptions *if* we're collecting values. If we're not, then the listener
       * doesn't need access to the futures again, so we can just pass `null`.
       *
       * TODO(b/112550045): Allocating a single, cheaper listener is (I think) only an optimization.
