## What it is
Servy is an enterprise-grade Windows service wrapper that runs any application (Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, etc.) as a native Windows service with automatic restart, health checks, and real-time CPU/RAM and stdout/stderr monitoring. It ships as a desktop GUI app, a CLI, and a PowerShell module for managing services interactively or in CI/CD pipelines.

## Use cases
- run a node.js app as a windows service
- keep a python script running in the background after reboot
- auto-restart a crashed process on windows
- nssm alternative for wrapping apps as services
- monitor cpu and memory of a windows service
- manage windows services via powershell or cli
- run a background worker before user logon

## When to choose
- you need to run any executable as a native Windows service without rewriting it
- you want automatic recovery from crashes, hangs, or stops with health checks and alerts
- you need GUI, CLI, and PowerShell interfaces for scripting and CI/CD deployment
- you want real-time monitoring of CPU/RAM and stdout/stderr streaming
- you need enterprise features like gMSA/AD accounts, lifecycle hooks, and log rotation

## When to avoid
- you need a service wrapper for Linux (systemd) or macOS (launchd)
- you only target non-Windows platforms
- you need cross-platform containerized service management rather than Windows services
