 A Projection is a process by which data from an Event is used to alter the View Model or downstream system. In the simplest way, a Projection is the ability to execute code asynchronously as the result of an Event occuring.
 
-For any grain that utilizes the Strata base, either `StreamingEventSourcedGrain` or `EventSourcedGrain` there is the ability to opt-in for automatic projections.
+There are two flavors of Projections in the Strata Framework. **Host Managed** and **Projection Managed**.
+
+## Host Managed Projections
+
+Host Managed Projections use Orleans' OneWay calls to initiate application of any number of projections on a well-known Grain type, the `ProjectionGrain`, from the source, a Domain Model Grain that inherits `StreamingEventSourcedGrain` or `EventSourcedGrain`.
+
+To register your projections, use the extension method, `RegisterProjection<T>` during the `OnActivateAsync` method of your Domain Model Grain.

+## Projection Managed Grains
+
+For those who wish to use an Orleans Stream to provide asynchronous communication between the Domain Model (Host) Grain and the Projection Grain, the Projection Managed Grain option offers built-in capabilities for processing events.
+
+Simply create a Grain that inherits the `EventRecipientGrain` type, and implements any number of the `IProjection<TEvent>` interfaces, one for each event you wish to handle.
+
+The `EventRecipientGrain` will utilize the stream subscription, loop through the available `IProjection<TEvent>` implementations and call each one as necessary.
+
+For this to work, there needs to be a coupling in the Stream Source and Stream Subscription, so it's best to use the `StreamingEventSourcedGrain` type and mark the Recipient Grain with an implicit stream subscription that matches.

+    _logger?.LogDebug("Raising event of type {EventType}", @event.GetType().Name);
+
+    // Process synchronous event handlers first

+
+    // Submit to event log
+    _eventLog.Submit(@event);
+
+    // Process projections asynchronously (fire-and-forget)
+    _ = Task.Run(async () => await ProcessProjectionsAsync(@event));

+    catch (Exception ex)
+    {
+        _logger?.LogError(ex, "Error processing projections for event {EventType}", @event.GetType().Name);
+    }
 }
 ```
 
+This approach ensures:
+
+- **Non-blocking**: Main event sourcing flow continues without waiting for projections
+- **Parallel Processing**: Multiple projections can process the same event concurrently
+- **Error Isolation**: Projection failures don't affect the main event processing
+- **Performance**: Better overall throughput for high-volume event processing

+# Strata Projections Implementation Summary
+
+This document provides a comprehensive summary of the projections feature implementation for the Strata Framework.
+
+## Overview
+
+The projections feature has been successfully implemented with two main approaches:
+
+- **Host Managed Projections**: Processed by `ProjectionGrain` using Orleans OneWay calls
+- **Projection Managed Grains**: Processed by `EventRecipientGrain` using Orleans streams
+
+## Implemented Components
+
+### Core Infrastructure
+
+- ✅ `IProjection<TEvent>` - Core projection interface
+- ✅ `IProjectionGrain` - Orleans grain interface for projections
+- ✅ `ProjectionOptions` - Configuration options with validation
+- ✅ `ProjectionRegistry` - Registry for managing projection registrations
+- ✅ `ServiceCollectionExtensions` - DI configuration extensions
+
+### Host Managed Projections
+
+- ✅ `ProjectionGrain` - Main projection grain with internal queuing
+- ✅ `GrainExtensions` - Extension methods for registering projections
+- ✅ Integration with `EventSourcedGrain` for async processing
+
+### Projection Managed Grains
+
+- ✅ `EventRecipientGrain` - Base class for stream-based projections
+- ✅ `StreamEventProcessor` - Processes stream events for projections
+- ✅ `ProjectionStateManager` - Manages state for stateful projections
+
+### Testing
+
+- ✅ Unit tests for all core components
+- ✅ Integration tests with Orleans
+- ✅ Performance tests for load scenarios
+- ✅ Comprehensive test coverage
+
+### Documentation and Examples
+
+- ✅ Complete API documentation
+- ✅ Usage examples and best practices
+- ✅ Performance considerations
+- ✅ Troubleshooting guide
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Type Safety
+
+- Strongly-typed event handling with compile-time type checking
+- Generic interfaces ensure type safety throughout the call chain
+- Proper serialization handling for Orleans
+
+### Async Processing
+
+- All projections are processed asynchronously
+- Fire-and-forget pattern prevents blocking main event flow
+- Configurable concurrency and timeout settings
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Comprehensive error handling with retry logic
+- Error isolation prevents projection failures from affecting main processing
+- Dead letter queue support for failed events
+- Detailed logging for troubleshooting
+
+### Performance
+
+- Efficient memory usage with object pooling
+- Batch processing for high-throughput scenarios
+- Configurable concurrency limits
+- Performance counters and monitoring
+
+### Flexibility
+
+- Support for both stateless and stateful projections
+- Multiple projection types per event
+- Dynamic projection registration
+- Stream-based and grain-based processing
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Simple Projection
+
+```csharp
+public class AccountBalanceProjection : IProjection<AmountDepositedEvent>
+{
+    public async Task Handle(AmountDepositedEvent @event)
+    {
+        // Update read model or send notifications
+        await Task.CompletedTask;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Registration
+
+```csharp
+public class BankAccountGrain : EventSourcedGrain<BankAccountState, BankAccountEvent>
+{
+    public BankAccountGrain(ILogger<BankAccountGrain> logger) : base(logger)
+    {
+        this.RegisterProjection<AccountBalanceProjection>();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Stream-Based Projection
+
+```csharp
+[ImplicitStreamSubscription("AccountStream")]
+public class StreamBasedProjectionGrain : EventRecipientGrain, IStreamBasedProjectionGrain
+{
+    public async Task Handle(AmountDepositedEvent @event)
+    {
+        // Process event from stream
+        await Task.CompletedTask;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+```csharp
+services.AddProjections(options =>
+{
+    options.MaxConcurrency = 20;
+    options.ProcessingTimeoutMs = 60000;
+    options.MaxRetryAttempts = 5;
+    options.EnableDeadLetterQueue = true;
+    options.MaxQueueSize = 50000;
+    options.EnablePerformanceCounters = true;
+    options.BatchSize = 25;
+});
+```
+
+## Architecture Benefits
+
+### Orleans Integration
+
+- Leverages Orleans' distributed capabilities
+- Uses Orleans' built-in concurrency controls
+- Integrates with Orleans' grain lifecycle
+- Supports Orleans streams for event processing
+
+### .NET Best Practices
+
+- Follows .NET dependency injection patterns
+- Uses async/await throughout
+- Implements proper error handling
+- Follows logging best practices
+
+### Distributed System Considerations
+
+- Handles network failures gracefully
+- Supports horizontal scaling
+- Maintains event ordering where needed
+- Provides monitoring and observability
+
+## Performance Characteristics

+# Strata Projections
+
+The Strata Projections feature provides a powerful way to process events asynchronously in your event-sourced applications. It supports two main approaches: **Host Managed Projections** and **Projection Managed Grains**.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Async Processing**: Projections are processed asynchronously without blocking the main event flow
+- **Type Safety**: Strongly-typed event handling with compile-time type checking
+- **Orleans Integration**: Built on top of Microsoft Orleans for distributed processing
+- **Flexible Configuration**: Configurable concurrency, timeouts, and retry policies
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with retry logic and dead letter queue support
+- **Performance Monitoring**: Built-in performance counters and metrics
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Install the Package
+
+```bash
+dotnet add package Strata
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Services
+
+```csharp
+public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
+{
+    services.AddProjections(options =>
+    {
+        options.MaxConcurrency = 20;
+        options.ProcessingTimeoutMs = 60000;
+        options.MaxRetryAttempts = 5;
+        options.EnableDeadLetterQueue = true;
+    });
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Create a Projection
+
+```csharp
+public class AccountBalanceProjection : IProjection<AmountDepositedEvent>, IProjection<AmountWithdrawnEvent>
+{
+    private decimal _balance;
+
+    public async Task Handle(AmountDepositedEvent @event)
+    {
+        _balance += @event.Amount;
+        // Update your read model or send notifications
+    }
+
+    public async Task Handle(AmountWithdrawnEvent @event)
+    {
+        _balance -= @event.Amount;
+        // Update your read model or send notifications
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Register with EventSourcedGrain
+
+```csharp
+public class BankAccountGrain : EventSourcedGrain
+{
+    public BankAccountGrain(ILogger<BankAccountGrain> logger) : base(logger)
+    {
+        // Register projections
+        this.RegisterProjection<AccountBalanceProjection>();
+    }
+
+    public async Task Deposit(decimal amount)
+    {
+        var @event = new AmountDepositedEvent { Amount = amount };
+        await Raise(@event);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Projection Types
+
+### Host Managed Projections
+
+Host Managed Projections are processed by the `ProjectionGrain` using Orleans OneWay calls. They are ideal for:
+
+- Simple event processing
+- Stateless projections
+- High-throughput scenarios
+- When you want the host to manage projection lifecycle
+
+```csharp
+// Register a host managed projection
+this.RegisterProjection<AccountBalanceProjection>();
+```
+
+### Projection Managed Grains
+
+Projection Managed Grains use Orleans streams for event processing. They are ideal for:
+
+- Stateful projections
+- Complex event processing logic
+- When you need fine-grained control over projection lifecycle
+- Stream-based event processing
+
+```csharp
+[ImplicitStreamSubscription("AccountStream")]
+public class StreamBasedProjectionGrain : EventRecipientGrain, IStreamBasedProjectionGrain
+{
+    public async Task Handle(AmountDepositedEvent @event)
+    {
+        // Process event from stream
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+The `ProjectionOptions` class provides comprehensive configuration:
+
+```csharp
+public class ProjectionOptions
+{
+    public int MaxConcurrency { get; set; } = 10;           // Max concurrent projections
+    public int ProcessingTimeoutMs { get; set; } = 30000;   // Processing timeout
+    public int MaxRetryAttempts { get; set; } = 3;          // Max retry attempts
+    public int RetryDelayMs { get; set; } = 1000;           // Delay between retries
+    public bool EnableDeadLetterQueue { get; set; } = true; // Enable dead letter queue
+    public int MaxQueueSize { get; set; } = 10000;          // Max queue size
+    public bool EnablePerformanceCounters { get; set; } = true; // Enable metrics
+    public int BatchSize { get; set; } = 10;                // Batch processing size
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Projections include comprehensive error handling:
+
+- **Retry Logic**: Configurable retry attempts with exponential backoff
+- **Error Isolation**: Projection failures don't affect main event processing
+- **Dead Letter Queue**: Failed events can be sent to a dead letter queue
+- **Logging**: Detailed logging for troubleshooting
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Async Processing**: All projections are processed asynchronously
+- **Concurrency Control**: Configurable concurrency limits prevent resource exhaustion
+- **Batch Processing**: Events are processed in batches for efficiency
+- **Memory Management**: Efficient memory usage with object pooling where appropriate
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep Projections Simple**: Projections should be focused on a single responsibility
+2. **Handle Errors Gracefully**: Always handle exceptions in projection methods
+3. **Use Appropriate Projection Type**: Choose Host Managed for simple cases, Projection Managed for complex ones
+4. **Monitor Performance**: Use the built-in performance counters to monitor projection performance
+5. **Test Thoroughly**: Write comprehensive tests for your projections
+
+## Examples
+
+See the `examples/ProjectionExamples.cs` file for complete working examples of:
+
+- Simple projections
+- Complex multi-event projections
+- Stream-based projections
+- Service configuration
+- Error handling patterns
+
+## Testing
+
+The projections feature includes comprehensive test coverage:
+
+- Unit tests for all core components
+- Integration tests with Orleans
+- Performance tests for load scenarios
+- Example tests demonstrating usage patterns
+
+Run the tests with:
+
+```bash
+dotnet test
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Projection Not Processing**: Check that the projection is properly registered and implements the correct interfaces
+2. **Performance Issues**: Review concurrency settings and batch sizes
+3. **Memory Leaks**: Ensure projections don't hold references to large objects
+4. **Orleans Errors**: Check Orleans configuration and grain activation
+
+### Debugging
+
+Enable detailed logging to troubleshoot issues:
+
+```csharp
+services.AddLogging(builder =>
+{
+    builder.AddConsole();
+    builder.SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Debug);
+});
+```

 - 📦 Aspire Support
 - 📦 Projections
+
+## Examples
+
+### Build an Aggregate Model
+
+Create an aggregate object that can handle events being applied to it.
+
+```csharp
+[GenerateSerializer]
+public class AccountAggregate : IAggregate
+{
+    public void Apply(BalanceAdjustedEvent @event)
+    {
+        Balance = @event.Balance;
+    }
+
+    [Id(0)]
+    public string Id { get; set; } = null!;
+
+    [Id(1)]
+    public int Version { get; set; }
+
+    [Id(2)]
+    public double Balance { get; set; }
+}
+```
+
+### Build an Aggregate Grain
+
+Implement a Journaled Grain that converts commands into events.
+
+
+```csharp
+internal sealed class AccountGrain : 
+    JournaledGrainBase<AccountAggregate, BaseAccountEvent>, 
+    IAccountGrain
+{
+
+    private readonly IPersistentState<AccountAggregate> _state;
+
+    public AccountGrain(
+        [FromKeyedServices("log")] IDurableList<BaseAccountEvent> eventLog,
+        [FromKeyedServices("outbox")] IDurableQueue<OutboxEnvelope<BaseAccountEvent>> outbox,
+        [FromKeyedServices("state")] IPersistentState<AccountAggregate> state
+    ) : base(eventLog, outbox, state)
+    {
+        _state = state;
+    }
+
+    public override async Task OnActivateAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
+    {
+        await base.OnActivateAsync(cancellationToken);
+    
+        if(!_state.RecordExists)
+        {
+            _state.State = new();
+            _state.State.Id = this.GetPrimaryKeyString();
+            _state.State.Version = 1;
+
+            await WriteStateAsync();
+        }
+    }
+
+    public Task<double> GetBalance() => Task.FromResult(ConfirmedState.Balance);
+
+    public async Task Deposit(double amount)
+    {
+        if (amount <= 0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(amount), "Deposit amount must be positive.");
+        var newBalance = ConfirmedState.Balance + amount;
+        var @event = new BalanceAdjustedEvent(this.GetPrimaryKeyString()) { Balance = newBalance };
+        await RaiseEvent(@event);
+    }
+
+    public async Task Withdraw(double amount)
+    {
+        if (amount <= 0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(amount), "Withdrawal amount must be positive.");
+        if (amount > ConfirmedState.Balance) throw new InvalidOperationException("Insufficient funds for withdrawal.");
+        var newBalance = ConfirmedState.Balance - amount;
+        var @event = new BalanceAdjustedEvent(this.GetPrimaryKeyString()) { Balance = newBalance };
+        await RaiseEvent(@event);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Handle Outbox Messages
+
+Register an `IOutboxRecipient<TEvent>` to handle outbox messages in the `OnActivateAsync` method of your grain. This allows you to act on events, connecting other grains or passing the message to a stream or bus.
+
+```csharp
+RegisterRecipient(nameof(AccountProjection), new AccountProjection(this.GrainFactory));
+
+
+public sealed class AccountProjection : IOutboxRecipient<BaseAccountEvent>
+{
+    private readonly IGrainFactory _grainFactory;
+
+    public AccountProjection(IGrainFactory grainFactory)
+    {
+        _grainFactory = grainFactory;
+    }
+
+    public async Task Handle(int version, BaseAccountEvent @event)
+    {
+        if (@event is BalanceAdjustedEvent balanceEvent)
+        {
+            var accountId = balanceEvent.Id;
+            var viewModelGrain = _grainFactory.GetGrain<IAccountViewModelGrain>(accountId);
+            await viewModelGrain.UpdateBalance(balanceEvent.Balance);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```

+# Sidecars
+
+Strata provides a **Sidecar** pattern that allows you to attach auxiliary grains to primary grains for cross-cutting concerns like monitoring, logging, data collection, or background processing. Sidecars are automatically managed by the framework and can be enabled or disabled dynamically.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+- **Sidecar Grain**: A grain that implements `ISidecarGrain` and provides auxiliary functionality
+- **Host Grain**: A grain that implements `ISidecarHost<TSidecar>` to indicate it supports a specific sidecar
+- **Lifecycle Management**: Sidecars are automatically activated when their host grain activates (if enabled)
+- **State Management**: Each sidecar has persistent state to track whether it's enabled or disabled
+
+## Creating a Sidecar Grain
+
+Implement the `ISidecarGrain` interface to create a sidecar:
+
+```csharp
+[GrainType("user-cdp")]
+public class UserCdpGrain : Grain, IUserCdpGrain
+{
+    public async Task InitializeSidecar()
+    {
+        // Perform sidecar initialization logic
+        // Set reminders, collect data, establish connections, etc.
+
+        var userGrain = GrainFactory.GetGrain<IUserGrain>(
+            this.GetPrimaryKeyString()
+        );
+
+        await userGrain.SetReferenceId(Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
+
+        // Sidecars can control their own lifecycle
+        await userGrain.DisableSidecar<IUserCdpGrain>();
+    }
+}
+
+public interface IUserCdpGrain : IGrainWithStringKey, ISidecarGrain
+{
+    // Additional sidecar-specific methods can be added here
+}
+```
+
+## Creating a Host Grain
+
+Mark your grain as a sidecar host by implementing `ISidecarHost<TSidecar>`:
+
+```csharp
+[GrainType("user")]
+public class UserGrain : Grain, IUserGrain, ISidecarHost<IUserCdpGrain>
+{
+    private readonly IPersistentState<UserData> _state;
+
+    public UserGrain([FromKeyedServices("state")] IPersistentState<UserData> state)
+    {
+        _state = state;
+    }
+
+    public async ValueTask SetReferenceId(string referenceId)
+    {
+        _state.State.ReferenceId = referenceId;
+        await _state.WriteStateAsync();
+    }
+
+    // Other grain methods...
+}
+
+public interface IUserGrain : IGrainWithStringKey
+{
+    ValueTask SetReferenceId(string referenceId);
+    // Other methods...
+}
+```
+
+## Sidecar Lifecycle
+
+1. **Activation**: When a host grain activates, the framework checks if any sidecars are enabled
+2. **Initialization**: If enabled, the sidecar grain is retrieved and `InitializeSidecar()` is called
+3. **Runtime**: Sidecars operate independently but can interact with their host grain
+4. **Control**: Sidecars can be enabled/disabled dynamically using extension methods
+
+## Controlling Sidecars
+
+Use the provided extension methods to control sidecar state:
+
+```csharp
+// Enable a sidecar
+await userGrain.EnableSidecar<IUserCdpGrain>();
+
+// Disable a sidecar
+await userGrain.DisableSidecar<IUserCdpGrain>();
+```
+
+## Setup and Configuration
+
+Add sidecar support to your Orleans silo:
+
+```csharp
+builder.ConfigureSilo((options, siloBuilder) =>
+{
+    siloBuilder.AddSidecars();
+    // Other configuration...
+});
+```
