You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```

// It does not encrypt empty ETags because such ETags indicate
// that the S3 client hasn't sent an ETag = MD5(object) and
// the backend can pick an ETag value.
func (key ObjectKey) SealETag(etag []byte) []byte {
	if len(etag) == 0 { // don't encrypt empty ETag - only if client sent ETag = MD5(object)
		return etag
	}
	var buffer bytes.Buffer
	mac := hmac.New(sha256.New, key[:])

      if (requestBody == null || !requestBody.isDuplex()) {
        exchange.finishRequest()
      }
    } catch (e: IOException) {
      if (e is ConnectionShutdownException) {
        throw e // No request was sent so there's no response to read.
      }
      if (!exchange.hasFailure) {
        throw e // Don't attempt to read the response; we failed to send the request.
      }
      sendRequestException = e
    }

Therefore, using this for large payloads will likely be slower than using a separate connection,
and other connections will be blocked while the large payload is being sent.

## Handlers & Routes

Handlers have a predefined Handler ID. 
In addition, there can be several *static* subroutes used to differentiate between different handlers of the same ID.

        os.remove(log)  # pragma: no cover
    response = client.post("/send-notification/******@****.***")
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.text
    assert response.json() == {"message": "Notification sent in the background"}
    with open("./log.txt") as f:

        os.remove(log)  # pragma: no cover
    response = client.post("/send-notification/******@****.***?q=some-query")
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.text
    assert response.json() == {"message": "Message sent"}
    with open("./log.txt") as f:

    email: str, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks, q: Annotated[str, Depends(get_query)]
):
    message = f"message to {email}\n"
    background_tasks.add_task(write_log, message)

        os.remove(log)  # pragma: no cover
    response = client.post("/send-notification/******@****.***?q=some-query")
    assert response.status_code == 200, response.text
    assert response.json() == {"message": "Message sent"}
    with open("./log.txt") as f:

    Note over client,operation: Response is already sent, can't change it anymore
    opt Tasks
        operation -->> tasks: Send background tasks
    end
    opt Raise other exception
        tasks -->> tasks: Handle exceptions in the background task code
    end
```

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```

This is because uploaded files are sent as "form data".
