+The `Confluent.Kafka.Extensions.Diagnostics` package enables instrumentation of the `Confluent.Kafka` library
+via [Activity API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/diagnostics/distributed-tracing-instrumentation-walkthroughs).

 ## Installation

 ## Usage
 
+### Producer
+
+Producer instrumentation is done via wrapper class and, for this reason, the producer usage is not needed to be rewritten. However,
+to enable producer instrumentation, `BuildWithInstrumentation` method should be called on the producer builder instead of `Build`.
+After that, all produce calls (sync and async) will be instrumented.
+
 ```csharp
+using Confluent.Kafka;
+using Confluent.Kafka.Extensions.Diagnostics;
+
+
+using var producer =
+    new ProducerBuilder<Null, string>(new ProducerConfig(new ClientConfig { BootstrapServers = "localhost:9092" }))
+        .SetKeySerializer(Serializers.Null)
+        .SetValueSerializer(Serializers.Utf8)
+        .BuildWithInstrumentation();
+
+await producer.ProduceAsync("topic", new Message<Null, string> { Value = "Hello World!" });
+
 ```
 
-## Roadmap
+### Consumer
+
+Unfortunately, consumer interface of `Confluent.Kafka` library is not very flexible. Therefore, the instrumentation is implemented
+via an extension method on the consumer itself. For this reason, the consumer usage should be rewritten as follows:
+
+```csharp
+using Confluent.Kafka;
+using Confluent.Kafka.Extensions.Diagnostics;
+
+using var consumer = new ConsumerBuilder<Ignore, string>(
+        new ConsumerConfig(new ClientConfig { BootstrapServers = "localhost:9092" })
+        {
+            GroupId = "group", AutoOffsetReset = AutoOffsetReset.Earliest
+        })
+    .SetValueDeserializer(Deserializers.Utf8)
+    .Build();
+
+consumer.Subscribe("topic");
+
+try
+{
+    while (true)
+    {
+        try
+        {
+            consumer.ConsumeWithInstrumentation((result) =>
+            {
+                Console.WriteLine(result.Message.Value);
+            });
+        }
+        catch (ConsumeException e)
+        {
+            Console.WriteLine($"Error occured: {e.Error.Reason}");
+        }
+    }
+}
+catch (OperationCanceledException)
+{
+    consumer.Close();
+}
+```
