Demonstrate event-driven, distributed processing with a sample microservice (Python script) as subscriber.
+Complete code for a small sample of a Stellar network ingestion pipeline using the Stellar Go [Ingest SDK](overview.mdx#the-ingestion-sdk-packages) paired with new [CDP SDK](https://github.com/stellar/go/tree/master/ingest/cdp) to publish derived data to a remote message broker. Demonstrate event-driven, distributed processing with a sample microservice (Python script) as subscriber.
 
 This example uses the ZeroMQ [goczmq](https://github.com/zeromq/goczmq) Go wrapper SDK, which requires a few o/s [dependent libraries to also be installed on the host machine](https://github.com/zeromq/goczmq?tab=readme-ov-file#dependencies).
 
-Put these files in a directory, compile and run with `go build -o pipeline ./.; ./pipeline`
+Steps:  
+#1 - Put these files in a directory  
+#2 - compile and run with `go mod tidy;go build -o pipeline ./.; ./pipeline`  
+#3 - in separate terminal, run `python distributed_payment_subsciber.py`, this will perform distributed pipeline topology, as it receives messages with payment info from the pipeline process and does additional processing(printing it to console).
