+# Kevo Go Client SDK
+
+This package provides a Go client for connecting to a Kevo database server. The client uses the gRPC transport layer to communicate with the server and provides an idiomatic Go API for working with Kevo.
+
+## Features
+
+- Simple key-value operations (Get, Put, Delete)
+- Batch operations for atomic writes
+- Transaction support with ACID guarantees
+- Iterator API for efficient range scans
+- Connection pooling and automatic retries
+- TLS support for secure communication
+- Comprehensive error handling
+- Configurable timeouts and backoff strategies
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/jeremytregunna/kevo
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"context"
+	"fmt"
+	"log"
+
+	"github.com/jeremytregunna/kevo/pkg/client"
+	_ "github.com/jeremytregunna/kevo/pkg/grpc/transport" // Register gRPC transport
+)
+
+func main() {
+	// Create a client with default options
+	options := client.DefaultClientOptions()
+	options.Endpoint = "localhost:50051"
+	
+	c, err := client.NewClient(options)
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Failed to create client: %v", err)
+	}
+	
+	// Connect to the server
+	ctx := context.Background()
+	if err := c.Connect(ctx); err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Failed to connect: %v", err)
+	}
+	defer c.Close()
+	
+	// Basic key-value operations
+	key := []byte("hello")
+	value := []byte("world")
+	
+	// Store a value
+	if _, err := c.Put(ctx, key, value, true); err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Put failed: %v", err)
+	}
+	
+	// Retrieve a value
+	val, found, err := c.Get(ctx, key)
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Get failed: %v", err)
+	}
+	
+	if found {
+		fmt.Printf("Value: %s\n", val)
+	} else {
+		fmt.Println("Key not found")
+	}
+	
+	// Delete a value
+	if _, err := c.Delete(ctx, key, true); err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Delete failed: %v", err)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+The client can be configured using the `ClientOptions` struct:
+
+```go
+options := client.ClientOptions{
+	// Connection options
+	Endpoint:        "localhost:50051",
+	ConnectTimeout:  5 * time.Second,
+	RequestTimeout:  10 * time.Second,
+	TransportType:   "grpc",
+	PoolSize:        5,
+	
+	// Security options
+	TLSEnabled:      true,
+	CertFile:        "/path/to/cert.pem",
+	KeyFile:         "/path/to/key.pem",
+	CAFile:          "/path/to/ca.pem",
+	
+	// Retry options
+	MaxRetries:      3,
+	InitialBackoff:  100 * time.Millisecond,
+	MaxBackoff:      2 * time.Second,
+	BackoffFactor:   1.5,
+	RetryJitter:     0.2,
+	
+	// Performance options
+	Compression:     client.CompressionGzip,
+	MaxMessageSize:  16 * 1024 * 1024, // 16MB
+}
+```
+
+## Transactions
+
+```go
+// Begin a transaction
+tx, err := client.BeginTransaction(ctx, false) // readOnly=false
+if err != nil {
+	log.Fatalf("Failed to begin transaction: %v", err)
+}
+
+// Perform operations within the transaction
+success, err := tx.Put(ctx, []byte("key1"), []byte("value1"))
+if err != nil {
+	tx.Rollback(ctx) // Rollback on error
+	log.Fatalf("Transaction put failed: %v", err)
+}
+
+// Commit the transaction
+if err := tx.Commit(ctx); err != nil {
+	log.Fatalf("Transaction commit failed: %v", err)
+}
+```
+
+## Scans and Iterators
+
+```go
+// Set up scan options
+scanOptions := client.ScanOptions{
+	Prefix:   []byte("user:"),  // Optional prefix
+	StartKey: []byte("user:1"), // Optional start key (inclusive)
+	EndKey:   []byte("user:9"), // Optional end key (exclusive)
+	Limit:    100,              // Optional limit
+}
+
+// Create a scanner
+scanner, err := client.Scan(ctx, scanOptions)
+if err != nil {
+	log.Fatalf("Failed to create scanner: %v", err)
+}
+defer scanner.Close()
+
+// Iterate through results
+for scanner.Next() {
+	fmt.Printf("Key: %s, Value: %s\n", scanner.Key(), scanner.Value())
+}
+
+// Check for errors after iteration
+if err := scanner.Error(); err != nil {
+	log.Fatalf("Scan error: %v", err)
+}
+```
+
+## Batch Operations
+
+```go
+// Create a batch of operations
+operations := []client.BatchOperation{
+	{Type: "put", Key: []byte("key1"), Value: []byte("value1")},
+	{Type: "put", Key: []byte("key2"), Value: []byte("value2")},
+	{Type: "delete", Key: []byte("old-key")},
+}
+
+// Execute the batch atomically
+success, err := client.BatchWrite(ctx, operations, true)
+if err != nil {
+	log.Fatalf("Batch write failed: %v", err)
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling and Retries
+
+The client automatically handles retries for transient errors using exponential backoff with jitter. You can configure the retry behavior using the `RetryPolicy` in the client options.
+
+```go
+// Manual retry with custom policy
+err = client.RetryWithBackoff(
+	ctx,
+	func() error {
+		_, _, err := c.Get(ctx, key)
+		return err
+	},
+	3,                     // maxRetries
+	100*time.Millisecond,  // initialBackoff
+	2*time.Second,         // maxBackoff
+	2.0,                   // backoffFactor
+	0.2,                   // jitter
+)
+```
+
+## Database Statistics
+
+```go
+// Get database statistics
+stats, err := client.GetStats(ctx)
+if err != nil {
+	log.Fatalf("Failed to get stats: %v", err)
+}
+
+fmt.Printf("Key count: %d\n", stats.KeyCount)
+fmt.Printf("Storage size: %d bytes\n", stats.StorageSize)
+fmt.Printf("MemTable count: %d\n", stats.MemtableCount)
+fmt.Printf("SSTable count: %d\n", stats.SstableCount)
+fmt.Printf("Write amplification: %.2f\n", stats.WriteAmplification)
+fmt.Printf("Read amplification: %.2f\n", stats.ReadAmplification)
+```
+
+## Compaction
+
+```go
+// Trigger compaction
+success, err := client.Compact(ctx, false) // force=false
+if err != nil {
+	log.Fatalf("Compaction failed: %v", err)
+}
+```
