+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```ruby
+SmartMessage.configure do |config|
+  config.transport = :redis_queue
+  config.transport_options = {
+    url: 'redis://localhost:6379',
+    db: 0,
+    queue_prefix: 'smart_message.queue',
+    consumer_group: 'default_workers',
+    block_time: 1000,  # 1 second blocking read
+    max_queue_length: 10000
+  }
+end
+```
+
+### Message Class Configuration
+
+```ruby
+class OrderMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue, {
+    url: 'redis://redis-server:6379',
+    consumer_group: 'order_processors',
+    queue_prefix: 'orders'
+  }
+  
+  property :order_id, required: true
+  property :amount, required: true
+  
+  def process
+    # Process order logic
+    puts "Processing order #{order_id} for $#{amount}"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration Options
+
+```ruby
+transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  # Connection settings
+  url: 'redis://username:password@redis.example.com:6379',
+  db: 2,
+  
+  # Queue settings
+  queue_prefix: 'myapp.queues',
+  consumer_group: 'myapp_workers',
+  consumer_id: "#{Socket.gethostname}_#{Process.pid}",
+  
+  # Performance tuning
+  block_time: 5000,         # 5 second blocking timeout
+  max_queue_length: 50000,  # Trim queues at 50k messages
+  batch_size: 10,           # Process messages in batches
+  
+  # Reliability settings
+  max_retries: 3,
+  retry_delay: 5,           # 5 seconds between retries
+  dead_letter_queue: true,
+  
+  # Connection pooling
+  pool_size: 5,
+  pool_timeout: 1
+})
+```
+
+## Async Architecture
+
+The Redis Queue Transport is built on Ruby's **Async framework**, providing modern fiber-based concurrency that offers significant advantages over traditional thread-based approaches:
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+- **Massive Scalability**: Support for thousands of concurrent subscribers with minimal resource overhead
+- **Cooperative Concurrency**: Fibers yield control voluntarily, eliminating race conditions and reducing context switching overhead  
+- **Memory Efficiency**: Each fiber uses ~2KB vs ~2MB per thread (1000x less memory)
+- **Test-Friendly**: Clean async lifecycle management with proper shutdown and cleanup
+- **Non-Blocking I/O**: All Redis operations are fully asynchronous and non-blocking
+
+### Usage with Async
+
+All transport operations should be wrapped in `Async` blocks for optimal performance:
+
+```ruby
+# Basic async usage
+Async do
+  transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new(
+    url: 'redis://localhost:6379',
+    db: 0,
+    test_mode: false  # Enable consumer tasks
+  )
+  
+  # Subscribe to patterns
+  transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.my_service") do |message_class, data|
+    # Process messages in async fiber
+    puts "Processing #{message_class} in fiber #{Async::Task.current.object_id}"
+  end
+  
+  # Publish messages
+  MyMessage.new(data: "test").publish
+  
+  # Keep async context alive
+  sleep
+end
+```
+
+### Async Best Practices
+
+```ruby
+# Multiple concurrent subscriptions
+Async do |task|
+  transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new(...)
+  
+  # Each subscription runs in its own fiber
+  task.async do
+    transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.service1") { |msg, data| ... }
+  end
+  
+  task.async do  
+    transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.service2") { |msg, data| ... }
+  end
+  
+  task.async do
+    transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.service3") { |msg, data| ... }
+  end
+  
+  # All subscriptions run concurrently with minimal overhead
+  sleep
+end
+```
+
+## Routing Keys and Patterns
+
+### Routing Key Format
+
+Messages are published with enhanced routing keys in the format:
+```
+namespace.message_type.from_uuid.to_uuid
+```
+
+Examples:
+- `order.ordermessage.user123.service456`
+- `emergency.alertmessage.security.broadcast`  
+- `system.healthcheck.monitor.all_services`
+
+### Wildcard Patterns (RabbitMQ Compatible)
+
+The Redis Queue Transport uses identical wildcard syntax to RabbitMQ:
+
+- **`#`** = Zero or more words (matches `a`, `a.b`, `a.b.c`)  
+- **`*`** = Exactly one word (matches `a` but not `a.b`)
+- **`.`** = Word separator (literal dot)
+
+### Pattern Examples
+
+```ruby
+# Recipient-based routing
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.payment_service")      # All TO payment_service
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.user_#{user_id}")      # Personal messages
+
+# Sender-based routing  
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.admin_service.*")        # All FROM admin_service
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.#{service_name}.*")      # All from your service
+
+# Message type routing
+transport.subscribe_pattern("order.#.*.*")              # All order messages
+transport.subscribe_pattern("alert.#.*.*")              # All alerts
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#{namespace}.#.*.*")       # All in namespace
+
+# Complex routing
+transport.subscribe_pattern("emergency.#.security.*")   # Security emergencies
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.#{env}_services")      # Environment-specific
+```
+
+## Pattern Subscriptions
+
+### Direct Pattern Subscriptions
+
+```ruby
+# Create transport instance
+transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new(options)
+
+# Subscribe to messages TO specific services
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.payment_service") do |message_class, message_data|
+  puts "Payment service received: #{message_class}"
+  # Process payment message
+end
+
+# Subscribe to messages FROM specific services
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.admin_service.*") do |message_class, message_data|
+  puts "Message from admin: #{message_class}"
+  # Process admin message
+end
+
+# Subscribe to specific message types
+transport.subscribe_pattern("order.#.*.*") do |message_class, message_data|
+  puts "Order message received: #{message_class}"
+  # Process any order message
+end
+```
+
+### Message Class Subscriptions
+
+```ruby
+# Standard SmartMessage subscription (auto-generates patterns)
+class OrderMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue
+  
+  # This automatically subscribes to pattern: "order.ordermessage.*.*"
+end
+
+OrderMessage.subscribe  # Subscribes to all OrderMessage instances
+
+# Custom pattern subscription for message class
+OrderMessage.subscribe_pattern("#.*.order_service") do |message|
+  # Only process orders directed to order_service
+end
+```
+
+## Convenience Methods
+
+The transport provides convenient methods for common routing patterns:
+
+```ruby
+# Simple recipient/sender filtering
+transport.subscribe_to_recipient('my_service')          # Messages TO me
+transport.subscribe_from_sender('payment_service')      # Messages FROM payment
+transport.subscribe_to_type('OrderMessage')             # All OrderMessage types
+
+# Broadcast and alert patterns
+transport.subscribe_to_broadcasts                        # All broadcast messages
+transport.subscribe_to_alerts                           # Emergency/alert messages
+
+# Environment-based subscriptions
+transport.subscribe_to_environment('production')        # Only prod messages
+transport.subscribe_to_tenant('tenant_123')             # Tenant-specific messages
+```
+
+## Fluent API
+
+The fluent API provides an expressive way to build complex subscriptions:
+
+### Basic Fluent Usage
+
+```ruby
+# Simple FROM subscription
+transport.where
+  .from('api_service')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Message from API service: #{message_class}"
+  end
+
+# Simple TO subscription
+transport.where
+  .to('task_processor')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Task for processor: #{message_class}"
+  end
+
+# Type-specific subscription
+transport.where
+  .type('TaskMessage')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Task message received: #{message_class}"
+  end
+```
+
+### Advanced Fluent Combinations
+
+```ruby
+# Combined FROM and TO
+transport.where
+  .from('web_app')
+  .to('event_processor')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Web app event: #{message_class}"
+  end
+
+# Consumer group with load balancing
+transport.where
+  .type('TaskMessage')
+  .consumer_group('task_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    fiber_id = Async::Task.current.object_id.to_s[-4..-1]
+    puts "Fiber-#{fiber_id} processing: #{message_class}"
+  end
+
+# Complex multi-criteria subscription
+transport.where
+  .from(/^admin_.*/)  # Regex pattern for admin services
+  .to('monitoring_service')
+  .consumer_group('monitoring_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Admin monitoring: #{message_class}"
+  end
+
+# Type and destination combination
+transport.where
+  .type('EventMessage')
+  .to(/.*analytics.*/)  # Any service with 'analytics' in name
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Analytics event: #{message_class}"
+  end
+```
+
+### Dynamic Subscription Building
+
+```ruby
+# Build and modify subscriptions dynamically
+base_subscription = transport.where.type('TaskMessage')
+
+# Add criteria dynamically
+urgent_tasks = base_subscription.from('urgent_processor')
+pattern1 = urgent_tasks.build
+puts "Urgent tasks pattern: #{pattern1}"
+
+# Build different variations
+analytics_tasks = base_subscription.to(/.*analytics.*/)
+pattern2 = analytics_tasks.build  
+puts "Analytics tasks pattern: #{pattern2}"
+
+# Subscribe with complex pattern
+transport.where
+  .type('EventMessage')
+  .from(/^(web|mobile)_app$/)  # From web or mobile app
+  .to(/.*analytics.*/)         # To any analytics service
+  .consumer_group('analytics_processors')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Complex pattern match: #{message_class}"
+  end
+```
+
+## Load Balancing
+
+### Consumer Groups
+
+Multiple consumers can share the same queue for automatic load distribution:
+
+```ruby
+# Create multiple workers in the same consumer group
+worker1_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  consumer_group: 'order_workers',
+  consumer_id: 'worker_1'
+})
+
+worker2_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  consumer_group: 'order_workers', 
+  consumer_id: 'worker_2'
+})
+
+worker3_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  consumer_group: 'order_workers',
+  consumer_id: 'worker_3'
+})
+
+# All workers subscribe to same pattern
+pattern = "#.*.order_service"
+
+worker1_transport.subscribe_pattern(pattern) { |msg| puts "Worker 1: #{msg}" }
+worker2_transport.subscribe_pattern(pattern) { |msg| puts "Worker 2: #{msg}" }  
+worker3_transport.subscribe_pattern(pattern) { |msg| puts "Worker 3: #{msg}" }
+
+# Messages published to order_service will be distributed among workers
+```
+
+### Load Balancing with Fluent API
+
+```ruby
+# Multiple workers using fluent API
+3.times do |i|
+  worker_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+    consumer_group: 'balanced_workers',
+    consumer_id: "worker_#{i + 1}"
+  })
+  
+  worker_transport.where
+    .to('shared_service')
+    .consumer_group('balanced_workers')
+    .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+      puts "Worker #{i + 1} processing: #{message_class}"
+    end
+end
+```
+
+### Priority-Based Load Balancing
+
+```ruby
+# High-priority worker pool
+high_priority_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  consumer_group: 'high_priority_workers'
+})
+
+high_priority_transport.where
+  .to('priority_queue')
+  .consumer_group('high_priority_workers')  
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "HIGH PRIORITY: #{message_class}"
+  end
+
+# Normal priority worker pool  
+normal_priority_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  consumer_group: 'normal_workers'
+})
+
+normal_priority_transport.where
+  .to('normal_queue')
+  .consumer_group('normal_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    puts "Normal priority: #{message_class}"
+  end
+```
+
+## Message Publishing
+
+### Basic Publishing
+
+```ruby
+class OrderMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue
+  
+  property :order_id, required: true
+  property :customer_id, required: true
+  property :amount, required: true
+end
+
+# Publish with automatic routing
+message = OrderMessage.new(
+  order_id: 'ORD-001',
+  customer_id: 'CUST-123', 
+  amount: 99.99
+)
+
+# Set routing header for enhanced routing
+message._sm_header.from = 'order_service'
+message._sm_header.to = 'payment_service'
+
+message.publish  # Routes to: order.ordermessage.order_service.payment_service
+```
+
+### Publishing with Enhanced Headers
+
+```ruby
+# Explicit header setting
+OrderMessage.new(
+  order_id: 'ORD-002',
+  customer_id: 'CUST-456',
+  amount: 149.99,
+  _sm_header: {
+    from: 'api_gateway',
+    to: 'order_service',
+    correlation_id: SecureRandom.uuid,
+    tenant_id: 'tenant_123'
+  }
+).publish
+
+# Broadcast publishing
+AlertMessage.new(
+  alert_type: 'maintenance',
+  message: 'System maintenance starting in 10 minutes',
+  _sm_header: {
+    from: 'admin_service',
+    to: 'broadcast'  # Routes to all subscribers of broadcasts
+  }
+).publish
+
+# Environment-specific publishing
+DeploymentMessage.new(
+  version: '2.1.0',
+  changelog: 'Bug fixes and performance improvements',
+  _sm_header: {
+    from: 'ci_cd_service',
+    to: 'prod_services'  # Only production services
+  }
+).publish
+```
+
+### Batch Publishing
+
+```ruby
+# Publish multiple messages efficiently
+messages = []
+
+100.times do |i|
+  messages << TaskMessage.new(
+    task_id: "BATCH-#{i}",
+    priority: 'normal',
+    _sm_header: {
+      from: 'batch_processor',
+      to: 'worker_pool'
+    }
+  )
+end
+
+# Batch publish for better performance
+messages.each(&:publish)  # Redis pipelining automatically optimizes this
+```
+
+## Queue Management
+
+### Queue Statistics
+
+```ruby
+# Get comprehensive queue statistics
+stats = transport.queue_stats
+
+# Example output:
+# {
+#   "smart_message.queue.#_*_payment_service" => { 
+#     length: 42, 
+#     pattern: "#.*.payment_service",
+#     consumers: 2,
+#     consumer_group: "payment_workers",
+#     last_activity: Time.now - 30
+#   },
+#   "smart_message.queue.order_#_*_*" => {
+#     length: 0,
+#     pattern: "order.#.*.*", 
+#     consumers: 3,
+#     consumer_group: "order_workers",
+#     last_activity: Time.now - 5
+#   }
+# }
+
+# Process statistics
+stats.each do |queue_name, info|
+  puts "Queue: #{queue_name}"
+  puts "  Messages: #{info[:length]}"
+  puts "  Consumers: #{info[:consumers]}"
+  puts "  Pattern: #{info[:pattern]}"
+  puts "  Last Activity: #{info[:last_activity]}"
+  puts ""
+end
+```
+
+### Routing Table Inspection
+
+```ruby
+# View active routing patterns and their mappings
+routing_table = transport.routing_table
+
+# Example output:
+# {
+#   "#.*.payment_service" => ["smart_message.queue.#_*_payment_service"],
+#   "order.#.*.*" => ["smart_message.queue.order_#_*_*"],
+#   "#.admin_service.*" => ["smart_message.queue.#_admin_service_*"]
+# }
+
+# Analyze routing patterns
+routing_table.each do |pattern, queues|
+  puts "Pattern '#{pattern}':"
+  puts "  Routes to #{queues.size} queue(s):"
+  queues.each { |queue| puts "    - #{queue}" }
+  puts ""
+end
+```
+
+### Queue Health Monitoring
+
+```ruby
+# Monitor queue health and performance
+def monitor_queue_health(transport)
+  stats = transport.queue_stats
+  health_issues = []
+  
+  stats.each do |queue_name, info|
+    # Check for potential issues
+    if info[:length] > 1000
+      health_issues << "WARNING: Queue #{queue_name} has #{info[:length]} messages (high load)"
+    elsif info[:length] > 0 && info[:consumers] == 0
+      health_issues << "ERROR: Queue #{queue_name} has messages but no consumers"
+    elsif info[:consumers] > 10
+      health_issues << "INFO: Queue #{queue_name} has #{info[:consumers]} consumers (possible over-provisioning)"
+    end
+    
+    # Check for stale queues
+    if info[:last_activity] && info[:last_activity] < Time.now - 300  # 5 minutes
+      health_issues << "WARNING: Queue #{queue_name} inactive for #{Time.now - info[:last_activity]} seconds"
+    end
+  end
+  
+  if health_issues.any?
+    puts "Queue Health Issues:"
+    health_issues.each { |issue| puts "  #{issue}" }
+  else
+    puts "All queues healthy ✅"
+  end
+  
+  health_issues
+end
+
+# Run health check
+health_issues = monitor_queue_health(transport)
+```
+
+### Administrative Operations
+
+```ruby
+# Clear specific queue
+transport.clear_queue("smart_message.queue.#_*_test_service")
+
+# Clear all queues for consumer group
+transport.clear_consumer_group_queues("test_workers")
+
+# Get queue length
+length = transport.queue_length("smart_message.queue.order_#_*_*")
+puts "Order queue length: #{length}"
+
+# Pause/resume consumer groups
+transport.pause_consumer_group("maintenance_workers")
+transport.resume_consumer_group("maintenance_workers")
+
+# Get consumer group information
+consumer_info = transport.consumer_group_info("order_workers")
+puts "Consumer group info: #{consumer_info}"
+```
+
+## Error Handling and Reliability
+
+### Retry Mechanisms
+
+```ruby
+class ReliableMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue, {
+    max_retries: 3,
+    retry_delay: 5,           # 5 seconds between retries
+    exponential_backoff: true # 5s, 25s, 125s delays
+  }
+  
+  property :data, required: true
+  
+  def process
+    begin
+      # Potentially failing operation
+      external_service.process(data)
+    rescue ExternalService::TemporaryError => e
+      # Retryable error - will be retried automatically
+      raise SmartMessage::Errors::RetryableError, e.message
+    rescue ExternalService::ValidationError => e
+      # Permanent error - goes to dead letter queue
+      raise SmartMessage::Errors::PermanentError, e.message
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Dead Letter Queue
+
+```ruby
+# Configure dead letter queue
+transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  dead_letter_queue: true,
+  dead_letter_prefix: 'dlq',
+  max_retries: 3
+})
+
+# Monitor dead letter queue
+dlq_stats = transport.dead_letter_stats
+puts "Dead letter messages: #{dlq_stats[:count]}"
+puts "Recent errors: #{dlq_stats[:recent_errors]}"
+
+# Process dead letter messages
+transport.process_dead_letters do |message_data, error_info|
+  puts "Dead letter: #{message_data}"
+  puts "Error: #{error_info[:error_message]}"
+  puts "Retry count: #{error_info[:retry_count]}"
+  
+  # Decide whether to retry, route elsewhere, or discard
+  if error_info[:retry_count] < 5 && fixable_error?(error_info[:error_message])
+    :retry  # Retry the message
+  else
+    :discard  # Discard the message
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Circuit Breaker Pattern
+
+```ruby
+class CircuitBreakerMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue, {
+    circuit_breaker: true,
+    failure_threshold: 5,    # Open circuit after 5 failures
+    recovery_timeout: 60,    # Try again after 60 seconds
+    half_open_max_calls: 3   # Allow 3 calls when half-open
+  }
+  
+  def process
+    # External service call
+    external_service.call(data)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Use Cases and Examples
+
+### Microservices Communication
+
+```ruby
+# API Gateway routing requests to services
+class ServiceRequest < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue
+  
+  property :service_name, required: true
+  property :operation, required: true
+  property :payload, default: {}
+end
+
+# Route based on service name
+api_gateway_transport.where
+  .type('ServiceRequest')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    request = JSON.parse(message_data)
+    
+    # Forward to appropriate service
+    ServiceRequest.new(request.merge(
+      '_sm_header' => {
+        'from' => 'api_gateway',
+        'to' => request['service_name']
+      }
+    )).publish
+  end
+
+# Services subscribe to their own requests
+user_service_transport.where
+  .to('user_service')
+  .consumer_group('user_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Process user service request
+  end
+
+payment_service_transport.where
+  .to('payment_service')
+  .consumer_group('payment_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Process payment service request  
+  end
+```
+
+### Event-Driven Architecture
+
+```ruby
+# Order processing workflow
+class OrderPlaced < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue
+  
+  property :order_id, required: true
+  property :customer_id, required: true
+  property :items, required: true
+end
+
+# Multiple services process order events
+inventory_service.where
+  .type('OrderPlaced')
+  .consumer_group('inventory_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Reserve inventory
+  end
+
+payment_service.where
+  .type('OrderPlaced')
+  .consumer_group('payment_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Process payment
+  end
+
+shipping_service.where
+  .type('OrderPlaced')
+  .consumer_group('shipping_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Arrange shipping
+  end
+
+analytics_service.where
+  .type('OrderPlaced')
+  .consumer_group('analytics_workers')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Track metrics
+  end
+```
+
+### Multi-Tenant Systems
+
+```ruby
+# Tenant isolation via routing
+class TenantMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue
+  
+  property :tenant_id, required: true
+  property :data, required: true
+end
+
+# Each tenant gets isolated message processing
+tenant_transport.where
+  .from(/^tenant_#{tenant_id}_.*/)
+  .to(/^tenant_#{tenant_id}_.*/)
+  .consumer_group("tenant_#{tenant_id}_workers")
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Process tenant-specific message
+  end
+
+# Admin messages broadcast to all tenants
+admin_transport.where
+  .from('admin_service')
+  .to('broadcast')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Process admin broadcast
+  end
+```
+
+### Real-Time Monitoring and Alerting
+
+```ruby
+# Monitoring system with alert routing
+class MetricMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue
+  
+  property :metric_name, required: true
+  property :value, required: true
+  property :threshold, required: true
+  property :severity, default: 'info'
+end
+
+# Route based on severity
+monitoring_transport.where
+  .type('MetricMessage')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    metric = JSON.parse(message_data)
+    
+    if metric['value'] > metric['threshold']
+      severity = if metric['value'] > metric['threshold'] * 2
+                   'critical'
+                 elsif metric['value'] > metric['threshold'] * 1.5
+                   'warning'
+                 else
+                   'info'
+                 end
+      
+      AlertMessage.new(
+        alert_type: metric['metric_name'],
+        message: "#{metric['metric_name']} is #{metric['value']} (threshold: #{metric['threshold']})",
+        severity: severity,
+        _sm_header: {
+          from: 'monitoring_service',
+          to: severity == 'critical' ? 'pager_duty' : 'alert_dashboard'
+        }
+      ).publish
+    end
+  end
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+```ruby
+# Use descriptive queue prefixes
+transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  queue_prefix: 'myapp.production.queues'  # Environment-specific
+})
+
+# Use meaningful consumer group names
+transport.where
+  .to('order_service')
+  .consumer_group('order_processors')  # Descriptive group name
+  .subscribe
+```
+
+### Resource Management
+
+```ruby
+# Proper cleanup on shutdown
+at_exit do
+  transport.disconnect
+  transport.cleanup_consumer_groups
+end
+
+# Connection pooling for high-throughput applications
+transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  pool_size: 10,
+  pool_timeout: 5
+})
+```
+
+### Monitoring and Observability
+
+```ruby
+# Regular health monitoring with Async
+Async do
+  loop do
+    stats = transport.queue_stats
+    
+    # Log queue lengths
+    stats.each do |queue, info|
+      if info[:length] > 100
+        Rails.logger.warn "Queue #{queue} backing up: #{info[:length]} messages"
+      end
+    end
+    
+    # Check consumer health
+    dead_consumers = stats.select { |_, info| info[:consumers] == 0 && info[:length] > 0 }
+    unless dead_consumers.empty?
+      Rails.logger.error "Queues with no consumers: #{dead_consumers.keys}"
+    end
+    
+    sleep 30
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+```ruby
+# Batch processing for high throughput
+transport.where
+  .to('batch_processor')
+  .subscribe do |message_class, message_data|
+    # Process in batches
+    batch = []
+    
+    batch << JSON.parse(message_data)
+    
+    if batch.size >= 10  # Process every 10 messages
+      process_batch(batch)
+      batch.clear
+    end
+  end
+
+# Use appropriate block times
+fast_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  block_time: 100  # Low latency, higher CPU usage
+})
+
+efficient_transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  block_time: 5000  # Higher latency, lower CPU usage
+})
+```
+
+## Migration from Other Transports
+
+### From Redis Pub/Sub
+
+```ruby
+# Old Redis Pub/Sub approach
+class OrderMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis  # Simple pub/sub, everyone gets message
+end
+
+OrderMessage.subscribe  # All subscribers get ALL messages
+
+# New Redis Queue approach
+class OrderMessage < SmartMessage::Base  
+  transport :redis_queue  # Queue-based with routing
+end
+
+# Targeted subscriptions
+OrderMessage.where.to('order_processor').subscribe     # Only my orders
+OrderMessage.where.from('api_gateway').subscribe       # Only from gateway
+OrderMessage.subscribe_pattern("#.*.order_service")    # RabbitMQ-style patterns
+```
+
+### From RabbitMQ
+
+```ruby
+# RabbitMQ configuration
+class OrderMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :rabbitmq, {
+    exchange: 'orders',
+    queue: 'order_processing'
+  }
+end
+
+# Equivalent Redis Queue configuration  
+class OrderMessage < SmartMessage::Base
+  transport :redis_queue, {
+    queue_prefix: 'orders',
+    consumer_group: 'order_processors'
+  }
+end
+
+# Pattern subscriptions work identically
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.order_service")  # Same syntax!
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Queue Not Processing Messages**
+```ruby
+# Check queue stats
+stats = transport.queue_stats
+puts "Queue stats: #{stats}"
+
+# Verify pattern matching
+pattern = "#.*.my_service"
+test_key = "order.ordermessage.api_gateway.my_service"
+matches = transport.send(:routing_key_matches_pattern?, test_key, pattern)
+puts "Pattern '#{pattern}' matches '#{test_key}': #{matches}"
+```
+
+**High Memory Usage**
+```ruby
+# Monitor queue lengths
+stats = transport.queue_stats
+long_queues = stats.select { |_, info| info[:length] > 1000 }
+puts "Long queues: #{long_queues}"
+
+# Configure queue limits
+transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  max_queue_length: 5000  # Trim at 5k messages
+})
+```
+
+**Consumer Not Receiving Messages**
+```ruby
+# Check consumer group membership
+consumer_info = transport.consumer_group_info("my_workers")
+puts "Consumers: #{consumer_info}"
+
+# Verify routing table
+routing_table = transport.routing_table
+puts "Routing table: #{routing_table}"
+```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```ruby
+# Enable comprehensive debugging
+transport = SmartMessage::Transport::RedisQueueTransport.new({
+  debug: true,
+  log_level: :debug
+})
+
+# Monitor Redis commands
+# In separate terminal: redis-cli MONITOR
+```
+
+### Performance Debugging
+
+```ruby
+# Measure publishing performance
+start_time = Time.now
+1000.times { |i| TestMessage.new(id: i).publish }
+duration = Time.now - start_time
+puts "Published 1000 messages in #{duration}s (#{1000/duration} msg/s)"
+
+# Measure processing performance
+processed = 0
+start_time = Time.now
+
+transport.subscribe_pattern("#.*.*") do |message_class, message_data|
+  processed += 1
+  if processed % 100 == 0
+    rate = processed / (Time.now - start_time)
+    puts "Processed #{processed} messages (#{rate} msg/s)"
+  end
+end
+```
