    stream.WithName("user-events")
        .WithPersistentStorage()
        .WithDeliverySemantics(DeliverySemantics.AtLeastOnce)

await foreach (var @event in reader.ConsumeAsync(
    streamName: "user-events",
    groupId: "email-notifications",
    consumerId: "worker-1",
    options: new ConsumerGroupOptions
    {
        BatchSize = 100,
        CommitStrategy = OffsetCommitStrategy.AfterBatch
    }))
{
    await ProcessEventAsync(@event);
}

Health Checks & Metrics
