The Challenge

Imagine you need to monitor a directory for new files, perhaps for processing financial transactions or handling automated data imports. You need a service that:

• Runs continuously

• Monitors a specific directory

• Processes new files as they arrive

• Maintains security and stability

• Restarts automatically if it fails

The Solution

Let's create a File Watcher Service that fulfills these requirements. We'll build upon our Worker Service knowledge and add file system monitoring capabilities.
