+# Lifespan Scoped Dependencies
+
+## Intro
+
+So far we've used dependencies which are "endpoint scoped". Meaning, they are
+called again and again for every incoming request to the endpoint. However,
+this is not always ideal:
+
+* Sometimes dependencies have a large setup/teardown time. Running it for every request will result in bad performance.
+* Sometimes dependencies need to have their values shared throughout the lifespan
+of the application between multiple requests.
+
+
+An example of this would be a connection to a database. Databases are typically
+less efficient when working with lots of connections and would prefer that
+clients would create a single connection for their operations.
+
+For such cases can be solved by using "lifespan scoped dependencies".
+
+
+## What is a lifespan scoped dependency?
+Lifespan scoped dependencies work similarly to the (endpoint scoped)
+dependencies we've worked with so far. However, unlike endpoint scoped
+dependencies, lifespan scoped dependencies are called once and only
+once in the application's lifespan:
+
+* During the application startup process, all lifespan scoped dependencies will
+be called.
+* Their returned value will be shared across all requests to the application.
+* During the application's shutdown process, all lifespan scoped dependencies
+will be gracefully teared down.
+
+
+## Create a lifespan scoped dependency
+
+You may declare a dependency as a lifespan scoped dependency by passing
+`dependency_scope="lifespan"` to the `Depends` function:
+
+{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial013a_an_py39.py *}
+
+/// tip
+
+In the example above we saved the annotation to a separate variable, and then
+reused it in our endpoints. This is not a requirement, we could also declare
+the exact same annotation in both endpoints. However, it is recommended that you
+do save the annotation to a variable so you won't accidentally forget to pass
+`dependency_scope="lifespan"` to some of the endpoints (Causing the endpoint
+to create a new database connection for every request).
+
+///
+
+In this example, the `get_database_connection` dependency will be executed once,
+during the application's startup. **FastAPI** will internally save the resulting
+connection object, and whenever the `read_users` and `read_items` endpoints are
+called, they will be using the previously saved connection. Once the application
+shuts down, **FastAPI** will make sure to gracefully close the connection object.
+
+## The `use_cache` argument
+
+The `use_cache` argument works similarly to the way it worked with endpoint
+scoped dependencies. Meaning as **FastAPI** gathers lifespan scoped dependencies, it
+will cache dependencies it already encountered before. However, you can disable
+this behavior by passing `use_cache=False` to `Depends`:
+
+{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial013b_an_py39.py *}
+
+In this example, the `read_users` and `read_groups` endpoints are using
+`use_cache=False` whereas the `read_items` and `read_item` are using
+`use_cache=True`.
+That means that we'll have a total of 3 connections created
+for the duration of the application's lifespan:
+
+* One connection will be shared across all requests for the `read_items` and `read_item` endpoints.
+* A second connection will be shared across all requests for the `read_users` endpoint.
+* A third and final connection will be shared across all requests for the `read_groups` endpoint.
+
+
+## Lifespan Scoped Sub-Dependencies
+Just like with endpoint scoped dependencies, lifespan scoped dependencies may
+use other lifespan scoped sub-dependencies themselves:
+
+{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial013c_an_py39.py *}
+
+Endpoint scoped dependencies may use lifespan scoped sub dependencies as well:
+
+{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial013d_an_py39.py *}
+
+/// note
+
+You can pass `dependency_scope="endpoint"` if you wish to explicitly specify
+that a dependency is endpoint scoped. It will work the same as not specifying
+a dependency scope at all.
+
+///
+
+As you can see, regardless of the scope, dependencies can use lifespan scoped
+sub-dependencies.
+
+## Dependency Scope Conflicts
+By definition, lifespan scoped dependencies are being setup in the application's
+startup process, before any request is ever being made to any endpoint.
+Therefore, it is not possible for a lifespan scoped dependency to use any
+parameters that require the scope of an endpoint.
+
+That includes but not limited to:
+
+* Parts of the request (like `Body`, `Query` and `Path`)
+* The request/response objects themselves (like `Request`, `Response` and `WebSocket`)
+* Endpoint scoped sub-dependencies.
+
+Defining a dependency with such parameters will raise an `InvalidDependencyScope` error.
