 Standalone version of Usergrid's Qakka queue service.
 
-Features:
+## Introducting Qakka
 
-* Distributed and multi-region queue system
-* REST API for managing queues and sending messages
+Qakka is a standalone version of the distributed and multi-region queue system that it built-into Apache Usergrid. It is a Java web application that combines the Usergrid Actor System and Queue modules with a Jersey JAX-RS based REST API. 
 
-Docs coming soon...
+__Qakka Features__
+
+* Multiple named Queues
+* Distributed and Multi-region
+    * Queue messages can be sent to multiple regions
+    * Queue reads always from local region
+* Inflight Queue messages time-out if not “acked”
+* Schemaless Queue message payloads, JSON or BLOB with any content-type
+* REST & Java APIs
+
+
+## Qakka System Requirements
+
+Minimal requires for Qakka in one region or data center are:
+
+* One or more computers running Java 8 and Tomcat 7 or 8
+* A Cassandra cluster running Cassandra 2.1.x
+
+
+## Qakka Internals
+
+You can learn more about Qakka internals by reading this [Google Slides presentation](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1j1w8txLlmVg6Ndiq1gsmF_3g8tl5flSjgmko4UxH6Gc/edit?usp=sharing).
+
+Qakka was developed as for this JIRA Issue: [USERGRID-1318](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/USERGRID-1318).
+
+
+## Qakka Installation
+
+We don't have installation documentation or scripts yet, but here's an overview of what you'll have to do
+to setup Qakka:
+
+* In each region, setup your Tomcat computers
+    * Install Java 8
+    * Install Tomcat 7 or 8
+    * Place the WAR file in the Tomcat's webapps directory
+    * Place your qakka.properties file in your Tomcat lib directory
+    * If you more than one Tomcat, you probably want to add a Load Balancer, e.g. AWS ELB
+    
+* In each region, setup your Cassandra computers
+    * Install Java 8
+    * Install Cassandra 2.1.x
+    * Verify that your cluster is working
+    
+There is an example [qakka.properties](https://github.com/apache/usergrid-qakka/blob/master/docs/qakka-example.properties) file that contains some information about how to configure Qakka, its Cassandra connections and its Usergrid Clustering.
