### Top-level application { #top-level-application }

First, create the main, top-level, **FastAPI** application, and its *path operations*:

{* ../../docs_src/sub_applications/tutorial001.py hl[3, 6:8] *}

### Sub-application { #sub-application }

Then, create your sub-application, and its *path operations*.

Nevertheless, there might be cases where we write some code that **crashes the entire application** making Uvicorn and Python crash. 💥

specialists to audit and ensure your application is in compliance with the licenses of MinIO and all other open-source projects with which your application integrates or interacts. We understand that AGPLv3 licensing is complex and nuanced. It is for that reason we strongly encourage using experts in licensing to make any such determinations around compliance instead of relying on apocryphal or anecdotal advice.

# Bigger Applications - Multiple Files { #bigger-applications-multiple-files }

If you are building an application or a web API, it's rarely the case that you can put everything in a single file.

**FastAPI** provides a convenience tool to structure your application while keeping all the flexibility.

If you come from Flask, this would be the equivalent of Flask's Blueprints.

## HTTPX { #httpx }

Even if your **FastAPI** application uses normal `def` functions instead of `async def`, it is still an `async` application underneath.

For some types of applications you might want to add dependencies to the whole application.

Similar to the way you can [add `dependencies` to the *path operation decorators*](dependencies-in-path-operation-decorators.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, you can add them to the `FastAPI` application.

In that case, they will be applied to all the *path operations* in the application:
