+# QueryBuilder.Benchmarks
+
+This project is a benchmark suite for measuring the performance of the SqlKata query builder library. It uses [BenchmarkDotNet](https://benchmarkdotnet.org/) to provide performance metrics for various query-building scenarios.
+
+## About
+
+- **Purpose:** Evaluate the performance of different SqlKata query operations.
+- **Framework:** [BenchmarkDotNet](https://benchmarkdotnet.org/) is used for running and reporting benchmarks.
+- **Scope:** Includes benchmarks for a few select scenarios.
+
+## How to Use
+
+1. **Build the Solution:**
+   Make sure the solution is built in Release mode for accurate results.
+
+2. **Run the Benchmarks:**
+   Execute the following command from the root of the repository:
+
+   ```cmd
+   dotnet run -c Release --project .\QueryBuilder.Benchmarks\QueryBuilder.Benchmarks.csproj
+   ```
+
+3. **Select Benchmarks:**
+   After running the command, a benchmark selector will appear. This is powered by BenchmarkDotNet's `BenchmarkSwitcher`, allowing you to choose which benchmarks to execute interactively.
+
+4. **View Results:**
+   BenchmarkDotNet will output the results to the console and generate detailed reports in the `BenchmarkDotNet.Artifacts` directory.
