7Overview
8********
9This sample implements a simple application that illustrates the priority boost feature. The
10application implements the below figure scenario. When the priority boost feature is disabled, the
11execution sequence presents a priority inversion problem, which may not affect much of the
12developer's application. Those who want to avoid priority inversions between message subscribers and
13plain subscribers should use the priority boost strategy.

32 The developer must use the :c:func:`zbus_obs_attach_to_thread` function to ensure a proper
33 priority boost execution.

121The figure below illustrates the execution of the same scenario but with the priority boost enabled.
122The developer must enable the priority boost and properly attach all the observers to their threads.
