The important thing to remember is that **the first *type parameter*** you pass to `Annotated` is the **actual type**. The rest, is just metadata for other tools.

For now, you just need to know that `Annotated` exists, and that it's standard Python. 😎

Later you will see how **powerful** it can be.

    This is where we'll put the `requirements.txt` file and the `app` directory.

3. Copy the file with the requirements to the `/code` directory.

    Copy **only** the file with the requirements first, not the rest of the code.

    As this file **doesn't change often**, Docker will detect it and use the **cache** for this step, enabling the cache for the next step too.

4. Install the package dependencies in the requirements file.
