 A benchmarking framework designed for testing key-value stores with easily customizable
 workloads.
 
-With `kvbench`, you can define the details of a benchmark using the TOML format, such as the
-proportions of mixed operations, the key access pattern, and key space size, just to name a
-few. In addition to regular single-process benchmarks, `kvbench` also integrates a key-value
-client/server implementation that works with a dedicated server thread/machine.
+## Intro
 
-You can also incorporate `kvbench` into your own key-value store implementations and run it
-against the built-in stores. All you need is implementing the [`KVMap`] or the [`AsyncKVMap`]
-trait, depending on the type of the store. After registering your store, simply reuse the
-exported [`cmdline()`] in your `main` function and it will work seamlessly with your own store.
+This Rust crate enables the execution of tailored benchmarks on various key-value stores. Users
+have the flexibility to adjust benchmark and key-value store parameters and store them in a
+TOML-formatted file. The default command line interface is capable of loading these files and
+running the benchmarks as specified.
 
-More detailed usage could be found in the module-level rustdocs.
+In addition to standard single-process benchmarks, kvbench seamlessly incorporates a key-value
+client/server setup that operates with a dedicated server thread/machine.
+
+## Usage
+
+Without any changes, you can run the default command line interface with three modes:
+
+- `kvbench bench -s <STORE_FILE> -b <BENCH_FILE>` runs a (group of) benchmark using the parameters
+stored in `<STORE_FILE>` and `<BENCH_FILE>`.
+- `kvbench server -h <HOST> -p <PORT> -s <STORE_FILE> -n <THREADS>` boots up a key-value server
+with `<THREADS>` workers, listening on `<HOST>:<PORT>`, and uses the key-value stores specified in
+`<STORE_FILE>`.
+- `kvbench list` lists all registered key-value stores that can be used.
+
+See [examples](examples/) for more examples.
+
+## Configuration
+
+See the documentation of the modules `stores` and `bench` for available options.
+
+## Integration
+
+You can incorporate `kvbench` into your own key-value store implementations and run it
+against the built-in stores. All you need is implementing the necessary traits, depending on the
+type of the store, and call the default command line interface provided by this crate.
+
+See [examples/your-kv-store](examples/your-kv-store) for a minimal but concrete example.
+
+## Development
+
+The missing pieces that are currently under active development:
+
+- Latency measurement (incl. CDF and tail/avg. latency metrics).
+- Atomic Read-modify-write (RMW) support.
+- More key-distributions (e.g., latest key, composite-zipfian).
+- Ordered key-value stores support (range query workloads).
+- Extra built-ins (e.g., YCSB workloads).
