Create a function to be run as the background task.

It is just a standard function that can receive parameters.

It can be an `async def` or normal `def` function, **FastAPI** will know how to handle it correctly.

In this case, the task function will write to a file (simulating sending an email).

And as the write operation doesn't use `async` and `await`, we define the function with normal `def`:

### Just Modern Python { #just-modern-python }

It's all based on standard **Python type** declarations (thanks to Pydantic). No new syntax to learn. Just standard modern Python.

If you need a 2 minute refresher of how to use Python types (even if you don't use FastAPI), check the short tutorial: [Python Types](python-types.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

You write standard Python with types:

```Python
from datetime import date

  private var currentTask: SerialTask = TestThreadSerialTask

  /** The coordinator task if it's waiting, and how it will resume. Guarded by `this`. */
  private var waitingCoordinatorTask: SerialTask? = null
  private var waitingCoordinatorInterrupted = false
  private var waitingCoordinatorNotified = false

  /** How many times a new task has been started. Guarded by `this`. */
  private var contextSwitchCount = 0

//     Vendors might change the settings based on the configuration and scale out of the solution (more storage nodes =>
//     higher task limit).
//
//     <S3ConcurrentTaskLimit>
//
//   - Defines how many S3 operations are executed parallel within one Repository Task Slot (and within one backup object
//     that gets offloaded). The same registry key setting overwrites the storage-defined setting.

        Please describe the problem as concisely as possible.

## How to enable Fan-Out Uploads ?

Fan-Out uploads are automatically enabled if `x-minio-fanout-list` form-field is provided with the PostUpload API, to keep things simple higher level APIs are provided in our SDKs for example in `minio-go` SDK:

    /**
     * Path or URL to be crawled by this configuration.
     */
    @Required
    @Size(max = 1000)
    public String crawlingConfigPath;

    /**
     * Maximum depth for crawling (how many levels deep to follow links).
     */
    @Min(value = 0)
    @Max(value = 2147483647)
    @ValidateTypeFailure
    public Integer depth;

    /**

Routes are declared in a single place, using functions declared in other places (instead of using decorators that can be placed right on top of the function that handles the endpoint). This is closer to how Django does it than to how Flask (and Starlette) does it. It separates in the code things that are relatively tightly coupled.
