If you run **multiple processes per container** you will have to make sure that the number of processes started doesn't **consume more memory** than what is available.

## Previous Steps Before Starting and Containers { #previous-steps-before-starting-and-containers }

If you are using containers (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), then there are two main approaches you can use.

### Multiple Containers { #multiple-containers }

     * Creates a security descriptor by decoding from a byte buffer.
     *
     * @param buffer the byte buffer containing the security descriptor data
     * @param bufferIndex the starting offset in the buffer
     * @param len the length of data to decode

     */

These examples run the server program (e.g Uvicorn), starting **a single process**, listening on all the IPs (`0.0.0.0`) on a predefined port (e.g. `80`).

This is the basic idea. But you will probably want to take care of some additional things, like:

* Security - HTTPS
* Running on startup
* Restarts
* Replication (the number of processes running)
* Memory
* Previous steps before starting

## Previous Steps Before Starting { #previous-steps-before-starting }

There are many cases where you want to perform some steps **before starting** your application.

For example, you might want to run **database migrations**.

But in most cases, you will want to perform these steps only **once**.
