## To `async` or not to `async` { #to-async-or-not-to-async }

As dependencies will also be called by **FastAPI** (the same as your *path operation functions*), the same rules apply while defining your functions.

You can use `async def` or normal `def`.

                    log.debug("Async notification monitoring interrupted for {}", registrationId);
                    Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                    break;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    log.debug("Error in async notification monitoring for {}: {}", registrationId, e.getMessage());

## `async` oder nicht `async` { #to-async-or-not-to-async }

Da Abhängigkeiten auch von **FastAPI** aufgerufen werden (so wie Ihre *Pfadoperation-Funktionen*), gelten beim Definieren Ihrer Funktionen die gleichen Regeln.

Sie können `async def` oder einfach `def` verwenden.
