What Next?

You now understand the essential building blocks of Digital Alchemy Core:

• Services are plain functions that receive TServiceParams and return their public API
• Modules wire services together; LoadedModules connects the type system
• Lifecycle hooks control when code runs — PostConfig, Bootstrap, Ready
• Configuration is declared per-module and validated at boot
• Libraries package services for reuse across applications
• TestRunner boots your real application in an isolated test environment
