Cross-platform background service in .NET Core (think windows service/unix daemon)?

Question

So I have the app that is composed of the API and the Windows service (wrapped by Topshelf) that is continuously hearing for the events using the RabbitMQ and processes data on demand.

For education and fun, I'm trying to rewrite this into my equivalent setup that would run on .NET Core and UNIX (e.g. in my docker container on AWS)

What would be a proper way to implement something equivalent to my windows service like that (forever-running background process) using .NET Core if I want to keep it cross-platform?

See your Worker Services (.NET Core 3.x):

You need to create one from this new Visual Studio 2019 Worker Service project template, or by using this .NET CLI:

dotnet new worker
