-### Run docker compose
+### Key Components
-```
+
-docker compose down -v
+- **Ingestor**: Main application orchestrator managing the overall lifecycle
-docker compose build --ssh default=$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519_docker
+- **IngestorManager**: Coordinates slot allocation, OPC server management, and load balancing

+- **OPC Manager**: Handles individual OPC UA server connections and tag subscriptions
+- **Data Manager**: Manages data persistence (MongoDB) and streaming (Kafka)
+- **Resource Manager**: Coordinates resource allocation and instance coordination via Redis
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11+
+- Redis server
+- MongoDB server
+- Kafka cluster (optional, for data streaming)
+- OPC UA servers for data collection
+
+**Note**: External dependencies (Redis, MongoDB, Kafka) must be available either through:
+- Port forwarding from a Kubernetes cluster
+- External Docker Compose setup
+- Cloud-managed services
+- Local installations
+
+## ️ Installation
+
+### Local Development Setup
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd sientia-dataops-opc-ingestor
    ```
 
-### Run Ingestor
+2. **Create virtual environment**
-The ingestor can be run as a docker container or as a python script.
+   ```bash
-
-As a docker container:
-Uncomment the ingestor service in docker-compose.yaml
-```
-docker compose up -d ingestor
-```
-
-As a python script:
-```
-python -m ingestor.app
-```
-
-### Populate redis server
-Create venv with python3.11
-```
    python3.11 -m venv venv
    source ./venv/bin/activate
    ```
-Install requirements
+
-```
+3. **Install dependencies**
+   ```bash
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```
-Run feeder
+
+4. **Create environment configuration file**
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   # Edit .env with your connection details
    ```
+
+5. **Configure external dependencies**
+   
+   You'll need to set up port forwarding or connections to external services. For example:
+   
+   ```bash
+   # Port forwarding from Kubernetes cluster
+   kubectl port-forward svc/redis-master 6379:6379
+   kubectl port-forward svc/mongodb 27017:27017
+   kubectl port-forward svc/kafka 9092:9092
+   
+   # Or connect to external Docker Compose
+   # Ensure services are accessible on localhost with appropriate ports
+   ```
+

+2. **Add comprehensive docstrings** for all public methods
+3. **Include Prometheus metrics** for monitoring
+4. **Add unit tests** for new functionality
+5. **Update this README** with new features and configuration
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **OPC Connection Failures**
+   - Verify server URLs and network connectivity
+   - Check certificate paths and security settings
+   - Review server logs for authentication issues
+
+2. **Redis Connection Issues**
+   - Verify Redis server is running and accessible
+   - Check authentication credentials
+   - Ensure proper network configuration
+
+3. **Kafka Export Failures**
+   - Verify Kafka cluster is running
+   - Check broker addresses and network connectivity
+   - Review topic configuration and permissions
+
+4. **Performance Issues**
+   - Monitor Prometheus metrics for bottlenecks
+   - Adjust polling intervals and lease TTLs
+   - Review OPC server performance and network latency
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable debug logging by setting the log level in your environment:
+```bash
+export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+```
+
+##  Performance Tuning
+
+### Key Parameters
+
+- **`POLL_INTERVAL`**: Main loop frequency (lower = more responsive, higher = less CPU)
+- **`LEASE_TTL`**: Slot lease duration (lower = faster failover, higher = more stable)
+- **`HEARTBEAT_TTL`**: Instance health check frequency
+- **Tag frequency**: OPC tag collection rate (Hz)
+
+### Scaling Considerations
+
+- **Horizontal Scaling**: Deploy multiple ingestor instances for high availability
+- **Load Distribution**: Use Redis-based slot allocation for automatic load balancing
+- **Resource Limits**: Monitor CPU, memory, and network usage
+- **Database Performance**: Optimize MongoDB indexes and Kafka partitioning
