I want to do some process setup before starting any entrypoint, such as loading data from database to local memory via nameko-sqlalchemy DependencyProvider.

But the nameko-sqlalchemy is a DependencyProvider, and I can’t create a new DependencyProvider rely on it.

Can you introducing an initialization class method, which will be execute after all DependencyProvider started and before starting any EntryPoint?

DependencyProvider.setup or DependencyProvider.start is the place to do this. You can subclass the nameko-sqlalchemy DependencyProvider to implement or override these methods:

from nameko_sqlalchemy import DatabaseSession

class MemoryLoadingDatabaseSession(DatabaseSession):
    def start(self):
        session_cls = sessionmaker(bind=self.engine)
        session = session_cls()
        ...  # load data into memory
        session.close()
