+## Usage with Symfony bundle
+
+Set your enqueue to use rdkafka as your transport
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/config.yml
+
+enqueue:
+    default:
+        transport: "rdkafka:"
+        client: ~
+```
+
+You can also you extended configuration to pass additional options, if you don't want to pass them via DSN string or
+need to pass specific options. Since rdkafka uses librdkafka (being basically a wrapper around it) most configuration
+options are identical to those found at https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md.
+
+```yaml
+# app/config/config.yml
+
+enqueue:
+    default:
+        transport:
+            dsn: "rdkafka://"
+            global:
+                ### Make sure this is unique for each application / consumer group and does not change
+                ### Otherwise, Kafka won't be able to track your last offset and will always start according to
+                ### `auto.offset.reset` setting.
+                ### See Kafka documentation regarding `group.id` property if you want to know more
+                group.id: 'foo-app'
+                metadata.broker.list: 'example.com:1000'

+            ### Commit async is true by default since version 0.9.9.
+            ### It is suggested to set it to true in earlier versions since otherwise consumers become extremely slow,
+            ### waiting for offset to be stored on Kafka before continuing.
