You can install any services in your nix dev shell environment. Run them however you desire--a bash script that backgrounds their tasks, systemd user services, supervisord, or any other process manager.

edit: A really simple and effective process manager is foreman and its procfile format. I like the golang version of it (simple single binary with zero dependencies): https://github.com/ddollar/forego or https://github.com/mattn/goreman
