Hi @icoco
Thank you for your interest in the project. I understand this comes a bit late, but it would be great if you could still take the time to elaborate and help me understand your usecase.

I fail to see how importing emitter as some library in your project and running it from there (if I understand your request correctly) would help much with the deployment. You would still have to configure emitter. Instead of deploying N Emitter instances each with a proper configuration, you would have to deploy N instances of your app each with a proper configuration for the embeded emitter process... The complexity wouldn't be eliminated, just moved into your application’s setup.

Also, remember that Emitter is designed to be distributed and highly available. It's written in Go for, among other considerations, optimization concerns. We wanted it to be compiled into native code for this reason. Also Emitter harnesses the power of go routines and spins multiple of them at various stages. So, you probably better isolate the Emitter process from your other processes. You'll better control resources. An Emitter instance should easily fail, exit, restart, or just stay dead, independently of another process.
