Build a Go service on psyb0t/servicepack — clone-and-own framework (not a `go get` library) providing a Service interface (Name/Run/Stop), a singleton ServiceManager that runs services concurrently with dependency-ordered topological start, automatic retry (Retryable), non-fatal failures (AllowedFailure), readiness gating (ReadyNotifier), per-service CLI subcommands (Commander), an App singleton with OnPreRun/OnPostStop lifecycle hooks, gofindimpl-based service auto-discovery codegen, ctxscope/slogging structured logging, and a graceful-shutdown Runner. Import path github.com/psyb0t/servicepack. Use when the user wants related Go services debugged together locally, then deployed as one binary or split into separate microservices, with retry/dependency/readiness semantics.

servicepack runs your Go services concurrently without you hand-rolling a supervisor loop. It is NOT a package you go get into an existing project — it's a template repo you clone and make your own, then you add services under internal/pkg/services/. This skill teaches you to build a service with it, not to run it as a standalone server (there's nothing to run until you write a service).
Security & safety
servicepack is source code you compile into your own binary — it has no runtime surface of its own, no network listener, no daemon to secure. Once cloned it's just Go files in your repo; whatever surface your SERVICE exposes (HTTP, gRPC, DB connections) is on you, same as any Go code you'd write by hand. The only things worth flagging:
make own MODNAME=... rewrites go.mod, nukes .git, and re-inits — irreversible on the clone, run it once at the start.
internal/app/, internal/pkg/service-manager/, pkg/runner/, and cmd/main.go are framework-owned files that make servicepack-update overwrites — never hand-edit them (see "Framework boundaries" below).
No secrets, tokens, or credentials live in the framework itself. Your services' env vars are your own to manage (gonfiguration, not os.Getenv).
When to use
Starting a new Go service/daemon that needs to run one or more long-lived workers concurrently, with clean shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM.
You need retry-on-failure, non-fatal ("allowed failure") services, dependency-ordered startup, or readiness gating between services in the same process.
You want per-service CLI subcommands (./app <service> migrate) alongside the long-running ./app run.
You're adding a new service to a repo that already has servicepack.version, Makefile.servicepack, or internal/pkg/service-manager/ present.
When NOT to use
You need a single, simple main() with no concurrent workers — plain Go is less ceremony.
You're building an HTTP API only, no background workers — reach for aichteeteapee directly in a plain main.go; servicepack's value is the multi-service supervisor, not routing.
You want a library to import into an EXISTING app without restructuring around , , . servicepack expects to own your project's top-level shape.

Quick start
git clone https://github.com/psyb0t/servicepack
cd servicepack
make own MODNAME=github.com/yourname/yourproject
make service NAME=my-worker
make service scaffolds internal/pkg/services/my-worker/my-worker.go:
Edit the Run() body, then make service-registration regenerates internal/pkg/services/services.gen.go (auto-discovers every Service implementation via gofindimpl). Build and run:
make build
./build/yourproject run
The Service interface
Every service implements:
type Service interface {
Name() string
Run(ctx context.Context) error
Stop(ctx context.Context) error
}
Run() listens for ctx.Done() and returns cleanly on cancellation; a non-nil return from Run() stops all services (unless the service is an AllowedFailure, see below). Stop() runs during shutdown for cleanup.
Optional interfaces — opt into extra behavior
A service can implement any combination of these on top of Service:
// Retryable — service gets restarted on failure, up to MaxRetries times,// waiting RetryDelay between attempts.type Retryable interface {
MaxRetries() int
RetryDelay() time.Duration
}
// AllowedFailure — service can die (even after exhausting retries)// without killing the rest of the process.type AllowedFailure interface {
IsAllowedFailure() bool
}
// Dependent — service manager topologically sorts start order;// services with no deps start first.type Dependent interface {
Dependencies() []string// names of other services in this process
}
// ReadyNotifier — service manager waits for this channel to close// before starting anything that depends on this service.type ReadyNotifier interface {
Ready() <-chanstruct{}
}
// Commander — exposes CLI subcommands under the service's own// namespace: ./app <servicename> <subcommand>. Only that service// gets instantiated when its command runs.type Commander interface {
Commands() []*cobra.Command
}
Dependencies on services not present in the current process (e.g. another microservice) are skipped with a debug log, not an error — cyclic dependencies within the process ARE rejected at startup.
Dependent alone orders the LAUNCH, not the readiness. A service that does not implement ReadyNotifier is treated as ready the moment its goroutine is launched, so its dependents are started right after — possibly before its Run body has executed a single line. If a dependent genuinely must not start until the dependency is accepting work (a DB accepting connections, a listener bound), the dependency has to implement ReadyNotifier and close its channel when it is actually up. Combining Dependent with ReadyNotifier is what turns "started in the right order" into "started only once the dependency works".
Lifecycle hooks — customize without touching framework files
cmd/init.go is yours; it's never overwritten by make servicepack-update. Register hooks on the App singleton:
// cmd/init.gopackage main
import (
"context""github.com/yourname/yourproject/internal/app"
)
funcinit() {
app.GetInstance().OnPreRun(func(ctx context.Context) {
// runs before any service starts
})
app.GetInstance().OnPostStop(func(ctx context.Context) {
// runs after all services have stopped
})
}
Hooks run sequentially in registration order; multiple hooks are allowed.
Custom CLI commands
cmd/commands.go is also yours — add standalone cobra commands separate from per-service Commander commands:
// cmd/commands.gopackage main
import"github.com/spf13/cobra"funccommands() []*cobra.Command {
return []*cobra.Command{
{
Use: "seed",
Short: "Seed the database",
Run: func(_ *cobra.Command, _ []string) {
// your logic
},
},
}
}
Logging and config
Logging is ctxscope over log/slog, with github.com/psyb0t/slogging/slogconf wiring the default handler. Add extra slog.Handlers (Loki, Datadog, etc.) in cmd/init.go; set durable identity fields with ctxscope.Set(ctx, ...), then log through ctxscope.GetLogger(ctx).
Config is github.com/psyb0t/gonfiguration — struct tags (env:"MYWORKER_VALUE"), gonfiguration.Parse(&cfg), gonfiguration.SetDefaults(map[string]any{...}). Never os.Getenv directly.
Errors are wrapped with github.com/psyb0t/ctxerrors (ctxerrors.Wrap(err, "doing X")) for file/line/function context.
Framework boundaries — never hand-edit these
internal/app/, internal/pkg/service-manager/, pkg/runner/, cmd/main.go, Makefile.servicepack, scripts/make/servicepack/, Dockerfile.servicepack*, servicepack.version are all overwritten by make servicepack-update. Customize behavior through the lifecycle hooks above, not by patching these files. Everything under internal/pkg/services/, docs/, and tests/, plus Makefile, Dockerfile, Dockerfile.dev, cmd/init.go, cmd/commands.go, is yours and never touched by updates.
