winsw
A wrapper executable that can run any executable as a Windows service, in a permissive license.

WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
If the program can't run directly as a service itself, you need a wrapper. Back in the day a program called NSSM was popular for this, but it's been unmaintained for many years so now you should use WinSW which is MIT-licensed, modern, actively maintained and easy to use
