use std::net::SocketAddr;
use std::time::Duration;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    println!("� Basic Messaging Example");

    // Create distributed broker configuration
    let config = DistributedBrokerConfig::new(
        "broker1".to_string(),
        "127.0.0.1:8080".parse::<SocketAddr>()?,
        Duration::from_secs(30),
    );

    // Initialize broker
    let mut broker = DistributedBroker::new(config, None).await?;
    broker.start().await?;

    println!("✅ Broker started successfully");

    // Add message handling logic here
    tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;

    Ok(())
}
```

Leverage zero-copy operations and memory pooling for maximum throughput:

```rust
use pilgrimage::broker::performance_optimizer::{
    ZeroCopyBuffer, MemoryPool, BatchProcessor, PerformanceOptimizer
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Zero-Copy Buffer Operations
    let mut buffer = ZeroCopyBuffer::new(1024);
    buffer.write(b"High performance message");
    let slice = buffer.slice(0, 26)?;
    println!("Zero-copy slice: {:?}", slice.as_ref());

    // Memory Pool Usage
    let pool = MemoryPool::new(100, 1024); // 100 buffers of 1KB each

    for i in 0..25 {
        let message = format!("Batch message {}", i);
        batch_processor.add_message(message.into_bytes()).await?;
    }

    if let Some(batch) = batch_processor.flush().await? {
        println!("Processed batch with {} messages", batch.message_count());
    }

    // Performance Monitoring

    1000,    // Memory pool size (number of buffers)
    100,     // Batch size for message processing
    true     // Enable compression
);

// Configure memory pool settings
let pool = MemoryPool::new(
    500,     // Pool capacity
    1024     // Buffer size in bytes
);

// Configure batch processor
let batch_processor = BatchProcessor::new(
    50,      // Batch size
    true     // Enable compression
);
```

### Dynamic Scaling Configuration

```rust
use pilgrimage::broker::dynamic_scaling::AutoScaler;

// Configure auto-scaling parameters
let auto_scaler = AutoScaler::new(
    2,       // Minimum instances
    10       // Maximum instances
);

// Configure load balancer
let load_balancer = LoadBalancer::new(
    LoadBalancingStrategy::WeightedRoundRobin {
        weights: vec![1.0, 2.0, 1.5] // Custom weights for brokers
    }
);
```

### Topic Configuration for High Performance

```rust
use pilgrimage::broker::TopicConfig;

let high_performance_config = TopicConfig {
    num_partitions: 16,         // Higher partitions for parallelism
    replication_factor: 3,      // Redundancy for fault tolerance
    batch_size: 100,           // Larger batches for efficiency
    compression_enabled: true,  // Enable compression
    zero_copy_enabled: true,   // Enable zero-copy operations
    auto_scaling: true,        // Enable automatic scaling
    max_message_size: 1048576, // 1MB max message size
    retention_period: 7 * 24 * 3600, // 7 days retention
    ..Default::default()
};
```

### Environment Variables

Configure system behavior using environment variables:

```bash
# Performance settings
export PILGRIMAGE_POOL_SIZE=1000
export PILGRIMAGE_BATCH_SIZE=100
export PILGRIMAGE_COMPRESSION=true

# Scaling settings
export PILGRIMAGE_MIN_INSTANCES=2
export PILGRIMAGE_MAX_INSTANCES=10
export PILGRIMAGE_SCALE_THRESHOLD=0.8

# Logging and monitoring
export PILGRIMAGE_LOG_LEVEL=info
export PILGRIMAGE_METRICS_ENABLED=true
export PILGRIMAGE_METRICS_PORT=9090

# Storage and persistence
export PILGRIMAGE_DATA_DIR=./data
export PILGRIMAGE_LOG_COMPRESSION=true
export PILGRIMAGE_RETENTION_HOURS=168  # 7 days
```

### Monitoring and Metrics

Enable comprehensive monitoring:

```rust
// Enable metrics collection
let metrics_config = MetricsConfig {
    enabled: true,
    collection_interval: Duration::from_secs(10),
    export_port: 9090,
    enable_detailed_metrics: true,
};

// Monitor performance metrics
let performance_metrics = optimizer.get_detailed_metrics().await;
println!("Throughput: {} msg/s", performance_metrics.throughput);
println!("Memory efficiency: {:.2}%", performance_metrics.memory_efficiency);
println!("Compression ratio: {:.2}x", performance_metrics.compression_ratio);

// Monitor scaling metrics
let scaling_metrics = auto_scaler.get_scaling_metrics().await;
println!("Current load: {:.2}%", scaling_metrics.current_load);
println!("Scale events: {}", scaling_metrics.scale_events_count);
```

## Version increment on release

- The commit message is parsed and the version of either major, minor or patch is incremented.
- The version of Cargo.toml is updated.
- The updated Cargo.toml is committed and a new tag is created.
- The changes and tag are pushed to the remote repository.

The version is automatically incremented based on the commit message. Here, we treat `feat` as minor, `fix` as patch, and `BREAKING CHANGE` as major.
