This library is what came out of creating a distributed service architecture for one of our products. Telstar makes it easy to write consumer groups and producers against redis streams. In order to run our distributed architecture at @bitspark we needed a way to receive and produces messages with an exactly once delivery design. We think that, by packing up our assumptions into a separate library we can make it easy for other services to adhere to our initial design and/or comply to future changes.
