+#### Bundled middlewares with Ziggurat-go
 
+Ziggurat Go includes two middlewares out of the box. 
+- Event Logger middleware
+  - The event logger middleware logs to the STDOUT whenever an event is received.
+  - Usage
+```go
+hf := ziggurat.HandlerFunc(func(context.Context,*ziggurat.Event){...})
+l := someLogger() // must implement the ziggurat.StructuredLogger interface
+eventLoggerMW := event.Logger(l)
+handler := ziggurat.Use(hf,eventLoggerMW)
+ziggurat.Run(context.Background(),handler)
+```  
+- Prometheus middleware
+  - The Prometheus middleware emits handler metrics using the Prometheus exporter server
+  - Usage
+```go
+hf := ziggurat.HandlerFunc(func(context.Context,*ziggurat.Event){...})
+prometheus.Register() // registers promethues registry handlers
+go func() {
+	prometheus.StartMonitoringServer(context.Background(),....)
+}
+eventLoggerMW := event.Logger(l)
+handler := ziggurat.Use(hf,promtheues.PublishHandlerMetrics)
+ziggurat.Run(context.Background(),handler)
+```
+To get the metrics 
+```shell
+curl -vv "http://localhost:9090/metrics"
 ```

 ## Ziggurat Event struct
 
 The `ziggurat.Event` struct is a generic event struct that is passed to the handler. This is a pointer value and should
