Steps

  1. Add events to a stream from the producer: `XADD events * entity_type order event_type created payload '{"id":1}'` — `*` auto-generates the entry ID.
  2. Create a consumer group so multiple consumers can share the stream: `XGROUP CREATE events mygroup $ MKSTREAM`.
  3. Read new messages in a consumer group: `XREADGROUP GROUP mygroup consumer1 COUNT 10 BLOCK 5000 STREAMS events >`.
  4. After processing, acknowledge each message to remove it from the pending-entries list: `XACK events mygroup <entry-id>`.
  5. Monitor lag with `XPENDING events mygroup - + 10` to see unacknowledged messages and detect stuck consumers.
