builder.Services.AddEventStreaming(options =>
{
    options.UsePostgresStorage(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("Postgres"));
    options.UseRabbitMQ(builder.Configuration.GetSection("RabbitMQ"));
});

// Configure stream
builder.Services.ConfigureStream<UserEvents>(stream =>
{
    stream.WithName("user-events")
        .WithPersistentStorage()
        .WithDeliverySemantics(DeliverySemantics.AtLeastOnce)
        .WithScope(StreamScope.Internal);
});

// Publish event
await _eventPublisher.PublishAsync(new UserRegisteredEvent
{
    UserId = userId,
    Email = email
});
```

### Consumer Groups

```csharp
var reader = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IConsumerGroupReader>();

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

```csharp
// Register monitoring
builder.Services.AddStreamHealthChecks();
builder.Services.AddEventStreamMetrics();

// Map management API
app.MapEventStreamManagementApi();
app.MapHealthChecks("/health");

// OpenTelemetry integration
builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetry()
    .WithMetrics(m => m.AddMeter("Svrnty.CQRS.Events"));
```
