-The command `uvicorn main:app` refers to:
-
-* `main`: the file `main.py` (the Python "module").
-* `app`: the object created inside of `main.py` with the line `app = FastAPI()`.

-### Uvicorn `--reload`
+When you use `fastapi dev` it starts Uvicorn with the option to reload automatically every time you make a change to the code, this way you will be able to develop faster. 🤓
 
-During development (and only during development), you can also add the option `--reload` to Uvicorn.
+## Run the **FastAPI** Server in Production Mode
 
-It will restart the server every time you make a change to the code, this way you will be able to develop faster. 🤓
+The development mode should not be used in production, as it includes automatic reload by default it consumes much more resources than necessary, and it would be more error prone, etc.

+For production, use `fastapi run` instead of `fastapi dev`:

 Now you can go to that URL in your browser `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. We didn't create a *path operation* for the root path `/`, so that URL alone will only show a "Not Found" error... that "Not Found" error is produced by your FastAPI application.
