> **An application-level event-driven framework for Rust — type-safe, macro-driven, and built for reliability.**

`event_base` lets you define message handlers, compose middleware pipelines, and orchestrate events inside your Rust application. It is **not** a distributed message queue — it focuses on **in-process event orchestration** with persistence, observability, and graceful shutdown built in.

## Features

| Category | Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Events** | EMessage + Handler + Ack | Type-safe message envelope with async handlers and explicit ack semantics |
| **DX** | Macro-driven | `#[handler]`, `send_msg!`, `start_queue_system!` — zero boilerplate |
| **Delivery** | 3 modes | Standard (competing consumers), Broadcast (all workers), Repeated (N times) |
| **Persistence** | WAL | Write-ahead log with crash recovery — `MemoryWal` and `PersistentWal` |
| **Resilience** | Dead Letter Queue | Automatic DLQ after max retries or explicit `Ack::Dead` |
| **Resilience** | Backpressure | `try_send` (non-blocking) and `send_timeout` |
| **Distributed** | Host/Worker | Node roles with discovery (`_system.worker_discovery`) and topic sync |
| **Shutdown** | 7 strategies | TwoStage, Force, Timeout, Graceful, StateBasedIdle, Batched, Timeout |
| **Observability** | Audit | Built-in audit logging (`_system.audit`) with ring buffer and custom writers |
| **Observability** | Tracing | Distributed tracing via `tracing` crate + `TraceLayer` |
| **Observability** | Metrics | Per-node and system-level metrics |
| **Middleware** | Composable | `impl Middleware` — logger, metrics, auth, or custom |
| **Management** | gRPC API | Query node status, list workers, trigger shutdown, stream metrics (optional) |

## Quick Start

```rust
use event_base::prelude::*;

#[handler(topic = "order", workers = 2)]
async fn handle_order(msg: &EMessage) -> Ack {
    println!("Received order: {:?}", msg);
    Ack::Ack
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let wal = event_base::memory_wal::MemoryWal::new();
    start_queue_system! {
        factory: MemoryQueueFactory::new(1000),
        wal: Some(wal),
    }
    send_msg!("order", EMessage::new("order", b"hello".to_vec())).await?;
    Ok(())
}
```
