## Development
+#### Building the code
+
+We use Gradle, so running `./gradlew build` (or `gradlew.bat build` on Windows) will compile all the code and run all the tests. You can also run the JMH performance benchmarks with `./gradlew runAllBenchmarks`.
+
#### Annotations
We use [Lombok](https://projectlombok.org/) annotations, which you will need to enable in your IDE.
