Kratos Service Layer

Service Layer Role

Connects transport (gRPC/HTTP) to business logic:

Responsibilities:

• Handle gRPC/HTTP requests
• Map proto DTOs to business models (via mapper)
• Call use case methods
• Map results back to proto responses
• Convert business errors to gRPC status codes

Service Struct Pattern

type {Entity}Service struct {
	pb.Unimplemented{Entity}ServiceServer  // Embed unimplemented server
	uc biz.{Entity}UseCase                // Use case dependency
}

Handler Method Pattern

func (s *{Entity}Service) Create{Entity}(ctx context.Context, in *pb.Request) (*pb.Response, error) {
	// 1. Map request to business model
	entity := {Entity}FromRequest(in)

	// 2. Call use case
	result, err := s.uc.Create{Entity}(ctx, entity)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, toServiceError(err)  // Map business error to gRPC error
	}

	// 3. Map result to response
	return &pb.Response{Entity: toProto{Entity}(result)}, nil
}

1. Create service handlers for new entity
2. Add handler methods to existing service
3. View handler patterns and examples

Wait for response before proceeding.

After reading the workflow, follow it exactly.
