- ✅ **Database Management** - Async SQLAlchemy with connection pooling

### Developer Experience
- ✅ **Type Safe** - Full type hints and PEP 561 compliance

## 📦 Installation

```bash
# Basic installation
pip install fastapi_otel_common

# With Redis support for distributed rate limiting
pip install fastapi_otel_common[redis]
```

## 🏃 Quick Start

```python
from fastapi_otel_common import create_app

# Create app with built-in middleware and OpenTelemetry instrumentation
app = create_app(
    title="My API",
    version="1.0.0"
)

@app.get("/")
async def root():
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

# That's it! Your app now has:
# ✅ OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics
# ✅ Loguru logging (Console + OTLP)
# ✅ Security headers
# ✅ Health check endpoints (/healthz, /readyz, /livez)
# ✅ Structured error handling
```

## 🔧 Configuration

Configure via environment variables:

```bash
# Application
APP_TITLE=My API
APP_VERSION=1.0.0
DEBUG=False

# Middleware
ENABLE_REQUEST_ID_MIDDLEWARE=True
ENABLE_SECURITY_HEADERS_MIDDLEWARE=True
ENABLE_LOGGING_MIDDLEWARE=True
ENABLE_RATE_LIMIT_MIDDLEWARE=False

# Rate Limiting
RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE=60
RATE_LIMIT_PER_HOUR=1000
RATE_LIMITER_BACKEND=memory  # or 'redis' for distributed
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379

# OpenTelemetry
SERVICE_NAME=my-api
SERVICE_VERSION=1.0.0
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4317
ENABLE_OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION=True
ENABLE_OTEL_METRICS=True
OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_INTERVAL=60000  # Export interval in milliseconds
OTEL_METRIC_EXPORT_TIMEOUT=5000    # Export timeout in milliseconds (prevents shutdown hangs)
```

## 🏥 Health Checks

Kubernetes-compatible health probes are automatically included:

```python
# GET /healthz  - Liveness probe
# GET /livez    - Liveness probe (alias)
# GET /readyz   - Readiness probe (checks DB and OIDC)
# GET /startupz - Startup probe
```

Example Kubernetes configuration:

```yaml
livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /healthz
    port: 8000
  initialDelaySeconds: 30
  periodSeconds: 10

readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /readyz
    port: 8000
  initialDelaySeconds: 10
  periodSeconds: 5
```

See [Health Checks Documentation](docs/health-checks.md) for details.

## 🛡️ Security

Includes production-ready security features:

### Basic Authentication

```python
from fastapi import Depends
from fastapi_otel_common import create_app
from fastapi_otel_common.security import get_current_user
from fastapi_otel_common.core.models import UserBase

app = create_app()

@app.get("/protected")
async def protected_route(user: UserBase = Depends(get_current_user)):
    return {"user_id": user.id, "email": user.email}
```

### Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Protect endpoints with client-specific role requirements (supports OR, AND, and complex logic):

```python
from fastapi_otel_common.security import RequireRoles, RequireAllRoles

# Require 'admin' OR 'manager' role for default client ID
@app.get("/admin/dashboard")
async def admin_dashboard(
    user: UserBase = Depends(RequireRoles(["admin", "manager"]))
):
    return {"message": f"Welcome {user.given_name}", "roles": user.roles}

# Require BOTH 'admin' AND 'auditor' roles
@app.delete(
    "/admin/system",
    dependencies=[Depends(RequireAllRoles(["admin", "auditor"]))]
)
async def dangerous_operation():
    return {"message": "Operation completed"}
```

See [Role-Based Access Control Documentation](docs/role-based-access-control.md) for advanced patterns like complex boolean logic.

## 💾 Database

Async SQLAlchemy with **multi-database support** via adapter pattern:

### Quick Start with SQLite (Development)

```bash
# No PostgreSQL needed! Just set DB_TYPE
DB_TYPE=sqlite
SQLITE_DB_PATH=./data/app.db
```

### Production with PostgreSQL

```bash
DB_TYPE=postgresql
DB_USER=postgres
DB_PASS=postgres
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_NAME=mydb
```

### Using in FastAPI

```python
from fastapi import Depends
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from fastapi_otel_common.database import get_db_session

@app.get("/users")
async def get_users(db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db_session)):
    result = await db.execute(select(User))
    return result.scalars().all()
```

## 📊 Observability

Full OpenTelemetry integration for distributed tracing and metrics:

### Tracing
- Automatic request tracing
- Database query tracing
- Custom span creation
- Context propagation
- OTLP/Jaeger export

### Metrics
Automatically collected HTTP metrics:
- **Request count** by method, path, and status code
- **Request duration** histogram in milliseconds
- **Request/response sizes** histograms
- **Active requests** counter

```python
# Metrics are automatically exported to your OTLP collector
# View in Grafana, Prometheus, or any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend
```

See [Metrics Documentation](docs/metrics.md) for visualization and querying.

## 🧪 Development
