+This gem provides a way to implement the transaction {outbox-pattern} using triggers
+(stored procedures) in the {postgresql} RDBMS.
+
+This only provides the "writing events to the outbox table" part of the outbox pattern.
+It does not provide the "reading and handling events from the outbox table" part.
+That is up to the application to implement.
+
+There are many libraries that can be used to read and handle events from the outbox table,
+among them are:
+
+- {eventide}
+- {rails-event-store}
+- {tobox}
+
+PgtOutbox utilizes the ruby {sequel} ORM to interact with the database, but once it's set up,
+it doesn't require any ruby nor {sequel} code for the outbox population to operate. It
+all runs on the {postgresql} cluster, guaranteeing no matter how the database writes
+occur, the outbox events will always be generated.
 
-This gem provides a way to implement the transaction {context} using triggers (stored procedures) in Postgres.
+== Features
 
-It utilizes the ruby Sequel ORM to interact with the database, but once it's set up,
-it doesn't require any ruby nor Sequel code for the outbox population to operate. It
-all runs on the PostgreSQL cluster, guaranteeing no matter how the database writes
-occur, the outbox events will always be generated.
+* Create outbox table(s) to store events
+* Create function(s) to write events to outbox table
+* Create trigger(s) to attach to tables so their changes write events to the outbox(es)
