+# gRPC EventEngine
+
+An EventEngine handles all cross-platform I/O, task execution, and DNS
+resolution for gRPC. A default, cross-platform implementation is provided with
+gRPC, but part of the intent here is to provide an interface for external
+integrators to bring their own functionality. This allows for integration with
+external event loops, siloing I/O and task execution between channels or
+servers, and other custom integrations that were previously unsupported.
+
+*WARNING*: This is experimental code and is subject to change.
+
+## High level expectations of an EventEngine implementation
+
+### Provide their own I/O threads
+EventEngines are expected to internally create whatever threads are required to
+perform I/O and execute callbacks. For example, an EventEngine implementation
+may want to spawn separate thread pools for polling and callback execution.
+
+### Provisioning data buffers via Slice allocation
+At a high level, gRPC provides a `ResourceQuota` system that allows gRPC to
+reclaim memory and degrade gracefully when memory reaches application-defined
+thresholds. To enable this feature, the memory allocation of read/write buffers
+within an EventEngine must be acquired in the form of Slices from
+SliceAllocators. This is covered more fully in the gRFC and code.
+
+### Documentating expectations around callback execution
+Some callbacks may be expensive to run. EventEngines should decide on and
+document whether callback execution might block polling operations. This way,
+application developers can plan accordingly (e.g., run their expensive callbacks
+on a separate thread if necessary).
+
+### Handling concurrent usage
+Assume that gRPC may use an EventEngine concurrently across multiple threads.
+
+## TODO: documentation
+
+* Example usage
+* Link to gRFC

+/// The EventEngine encapsulates all platform-specific behaviors related to low
+/// level network I/O, timers, asynchronous execution, and DNS resolution.
+///
+/// This interface allows developers to provide their own event management and
+/// network stacks. Motivating uses cases for supporting custom EventEngines
+/// include the ability to hook into external event loops, and using different
+/// EventEngine instances for each channel to better insulate network I/O and
+/// callback processing from other channels.
+///
+/// A default cross-platform EventEngine instance is provided by gRPC.
+///
+/// LIFESPAN AND OWNERSHIP
+///
+/// gRPC takes shared ownership of EventEngines via std::shared_ptrs to ensure
+/// that the engines remain available until they are no longer needed. Depending
+/// on the use case, engines may live until gRPC is shut down.
+///
+/// EXAMPLE USAGE (Not yet implemented)
+///
+/// Custom EventEngines can be specified per channel, and allow configuration
+/// for both clients and servers. To set a custom EventEngine for a client
+/// channel, you can do something like the following:
+///
+///    ChannelArguments args;
+///    std::shared_ptr<EventEngine> engine = std::make_shared<MyEngine>(...);
+///    args.SetEventEngine(engine);
+///    MyAppClient client(grpc::CreateCustomChannel(
+///        "localhost:50051", grpc::InsecureChannelCredentials(), args));
+///
+/// A gRPC server can use a custom EventEngine by calling the
+/// ServerBuilder::SetEventEngine method:
+///
+///    ServerBuilder builder;
+///    std::shared_ptr<EventEngine> engine = std::make_shared<MyEngine>(...);
+///    builder.SetEventEngine(engine);
+///    std::unique_ptr<Server> server(builder.BuildAndStart());
