# Service Initialization

## Integrate with Snarkify SDK

{% hint style="info" %}
You can skip this section if you have already followed the steps in [Integrate Elastic Prover SDK](/serverless-gpu-proving/deploy-a-elastic-prover/integrate-elastic-prover-sdk.md)and verified your change locally. 
{% endhint %}

Switch to your project root directly, and run the following command:

```bash
snarkify init
```

It is simply a shortcut for:

1. Add `snarkify-sdk` cargo dependency to Cargo.toml
2. Create a template `snarkify.rs` file under `/src/bin`,  in which you have to implement the `ProofHandler` with your own proof generation logic. 

## Create your new service

Once your code is ready, running the following command will create a new service on Snarkify platform:

```
snarkify service create {service_name}
```

The new service will automatically link to your current project directory, ensuring that all future build and deploy commands seamlessly synchronizes the changes from your working directory to the cloud.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, our platform supports the creation of one service per code directory. We are actively working to enhance this feature, aiming to enable the support of multiple services from a single repository in the near future. Stay tuned for updates!
{% endhint %}

## Query your service

You can use the `snarkify service info` command to check the status of your service and get the RPC endpoint (`service url` field) once the deployment is done. Below is an example output:
