+      If you're working on a simple PHP application, [a simple development shell][0] with PHP and Composer may be enough.
+
+      But what if you're building a more complex application, like a Drupal website?
+
+      As well as PHP, it needs services like a database server.
+
+      Installing `mysql` or `mariadb` isn't enough - it needs to be running so your application can connect to it.
+
+      If you use NixOS - the operating system based on the Nix package manager - configuring a database server is as simple as `services.mysql.enable = true;`.
+
+      It will start automatically when the computer starts and you can add more Nix code to create databases and manage permissions.
+
+      But what if you're not using NixOS?
+
+      The Nix package manager can't manage services.
+
+      But, there is a solution - [services-flake][1].
+
+      It can be added to a flake.nix file and adds a tool called Process Compose to manage processes and services.
+
+      Then, I can add code like this to start a database server and create the database with `nix run`:
+
+      ```nix
+      services.mysql."mysql1" = {
+        enable = true;
+
+        initialDatabases = [
+          { name = "drupal_nix_flake_example"; }
+        ];
+      };
+      ```
+
+      If you have other processes, such as running Tailwind CSS to build your CSS files, it can do that too.
+
+      To see a full Drupal example using services-flake, see [my drupal-nix-flake-example][2] repository.
