+  - **High-Efficiency Pub/Sub**: A powerful, thread and process-safe publish-subscribe system for real-time messaging with a fan-out architecture.

   - **Pythonic List Management**: A fluent, Redis-like interface for managing persistent, ordered lists.
   - **Persistent Priority Queue**: A high-performance, persistent queue that always returns the item with the highest priority, perfect for task management.

+### 6. Real-time Event-Driven Systems
+
+Use the **high-efficiency pub/sub system** to build applications where different components react to events in real-time. This is perfect for decoupled systems, real-time UIs, or monitoring services.
+
+```python
+# In one process or thread (e.g., a monitoring service)
+system_events = db.channel("system_events")
+system_events.publish({"event": "user_login", "user_id": "alice"})
+
+# In another process or thread (e.g., a UI updater or logger)
+with db.channel("system_events").subscribe() as listener:
+    for message in listener.listen():
+        print(f"Event received: {message}")
+        # >> Event received: {'event': 'user_login', 'user_id': 'alice'}
