+
+A PostgreSQL resource readiness assertion library built on top of the [waitfor](https://github.com/go-waitfor/waitfor) framework. This library allows you to wait for PostgreSQL databases to become available before proceeding with your application startup, making it ideal for containerized environments, integration tests, and service orchestration.
+
+## Features
+
+- **PostgreSQL connectivity testing**: Ping PostgreSQL databases to verify they're ready
+- **Multiple URL schemes**: Supports both `postgres://` and `postgresql://` connection strings  
+- **Configurable retry logic**: Customize attempts, intervals, and timeouts
+- **Context support**: Full context cancellation and timeout support
+- **Integration ready**: Built for Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/go-waitfor/waitfor-postgres
+```
+
+## Quick Start
 
 ```go
 package main
 
 import (
 	"context"
 	"fmt"
+	"time"
+
 	"github.com/go-waitfor/waitfor"
 	"github.com/go-waitfor/waitfor-postgres"
-	"os"
 )
 
 func main() {
 	runner := waitfor.New(postgres.Use())
 
+	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
+	defer cancel()
+
 	err := runner.Test(
-		context.Background(),
-		[]string{"postgres://localhost:8080/my-db"},
-		waitfor.WithAttempts(5),
+		ctx,
+		[]string{"postgres://user:password@localhost/mydb"},
+		waitfor.WithAttempts(10),
+		waitfor.WithInterval(2000), // 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds)
 	)
 
 	if err != nil {
-		fmt.Println(err)
-		os.Exit(1)
+		fmt.Printf("PostgreSQL not ready: %v\n", err)
+		return
 	}
+
+	fmt.Println("PostgreSQL is ready!")
+}
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Connection Test
+
+```go
+runner := waitfor.New(postgres.Use())
+
+err := runner.Test(
+	context.Background(),
+	[]string{"postgres://localhost/mydb"},
+)
+```
+
+### Multiple Databases
+
+```go
+databases := []string{
+	"postgres://user:pass@db1:5432/app_db",
+	"postgresql://user:pass@db2:5432/cache_db",
+}
+
+err := runner.Test(context.Background(), databases)
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration
+
+```go
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Minute)
+defer cancel()
+
+err := runner.Test(
+	ctx,
+	[]string{"postgres://user:pass@localhost/mydb"},
+	waitfor.WithAttempts(20),           // Try up to 20 times
+	waitfor.WithInterval(5000),         // Wait 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds) between attempts
+)
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+```go
+err := runner.Test(ctx, []string{"postgres://localhost/mydb"})
+if err != nil {
+	// Handle different types of errors
+	fmt.Printf("Database connection failed: %v\n", err)
+	
+	// Check if it's a timeout
+	if ctx.Err() == context.DeadlineExceeded {
+		fmt.Println("Timed out waiting for database")
+	}
+}
+```
+
+## Supported URL Formats
+
+The library supports both PostgreSQL URL schemes:
+
+- `postgres://user:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=disable`
+- `postgresql://user:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=require`
+
+### URL Components
+
+```
+postgresql://username:password@hostname:port/database?param1=value1&param2=value2
+```
+
+- **username**: Database username (optional)
+- **password**: Database password (optional)  
+- **hostname**: Database server hostname or IP
+- **port**: Database server port (default: 5432)
+- **database**: Database name (optional)
+- **parameters**: Connection parameters like `sslmode`, `connect_timeout`, etc.
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+The library uses the waitfor framework's configuration options:
+
+| Option | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `WithAttempts(n)` | Maximum number of connection attempts | 30 |
+| `WithInterval(ms)` | Time between connection attempts in milliseconds | 1000 (1 second) |
+
+## Context and Timeouts
+
+Always use context with timeouts for production applications:
+
+```go
+// Set overall timeout for the entire wait operation
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 2*time.Minute)
+defer cancel()
+
+// The Test method will respect the context deadline
+err := runner.Test(ctx, []string{"postgres://localhost/mydb"}, waitfor.WithAttempts(20))
+
+if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
+	log.Fatal("Timed out waiting for PostgreSQL to become ready")
 }
-```
+```
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### Docker Compose
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+services:
+  postgres:
+    image: postgres:15
+    environment:
+      POSTGRES_DB: myapp
+      POSTGRES_USER: user
+      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
+
+  app:
+    build: .
+    depends_on:
+      - postgres
+    environment:
+      DATABASE_URL: postgres://user:password@postgres:5432/myapp
+```
+
+### Kubernetes Init Container
+
+```yaml
+initContainers:
+- name: wait-for-db
+  image: my-app:latest
+  command: ["/wait-for-postgres"]
+  env:
+  - name: DATABASE_URL
+    value: "postgres://user:pass@postgres-service:5432/mydb"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Connection Issues
+
+1. **Connection refused**: Check if PostgreSQL is running and accessible
+2. **Authentication failed**: Verify username and password
+3. **Database not found**: Ensure the database exists
+4. **SSL/TLS issues**: Check `sslmode` parameter in connection string
+
+### Debugging Tips
+
+```go
+// Enable detailed logging (if using a logger)
+log.Printf("Testing connection to: %s", databaseURL)
+
+err := runner.Test(ctx, []string{databaseURL})
+if err != nil {
+	log.Printf("Connection failed: %v", err)
+}
+```
