## Quick Start

### Basic Setup

```typescript
import { HyperShield } from 'hypershield';
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
const shield = new HyperShield({
  cache: {
    enabled: true,
    provider: 'memory',
    ttl: 3600
  },
  compression: {
    enabled: true,
    type: 'gzip',
    level: 6
  }
});

shield.initialize();

// Use middleware
app.use(shield.compression());
app.use(shield.cache());

// Start monitoring
shield.metrics.enable();
```

See [examples](./docs/examples/) for more complex use cases.
