Description
We are currently running one background service with one kafka consumer in each microservice. Each Kafka consumer is subscribing to multiple topics from a variety of producers. A list of topic strings is enough to subscribe. With a switch we can then handle each topic separately if needed.
We would now like to represent the same structure but with Redis Streams, but I'm not sure how to set it up with Stackexchange.Redis library.
For me it seems like we need to create a bunch of parallel running tasks that subscribe individually to a topic/stream and then is also handling the message.
Is that the only way one background service is able to handle multiple Streams ?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Redis Streams APIs and existing StackExchange.Redis examples, then clarify the expected multi-stream consumer behavior before defining what a completed change would be.
