When I work on services I usually use "guix system vm" and/or "guix
system container". These allow me to instantiate a system with the
service(s) that I'm working on without risking breaking my real system.
It also makes cleaning up between tests much simpler: I just kill the
VM/container.

I find it easier to write a minimal operating-system definition, rather
than using one of my real system definitions, but you can do it either
way.
