-Code contributions
------------------
+# Building using `CMake`
+
+In addition to the traditional `Makefile` build, Valkey supports an alternative, **experimental**, build system using `CMake`.
+
+To build and install `Valkey`, in `Release` mode (an optimized build), type this into your terminal:
+
+```bash
+mkdir build-release
+cd $_
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/valkey
+sudo make install
+# Valkey is now installed under /opt/valkey
+```
+
+Other options supported by Valkey's `CMake` build system:
+
+## Special build flags
+
+- `-DBUILD_TLS=<on|off|module>` enable TLS build for Valkey
+- `-DBUILD_RDMA=<off|module>` enable RDMA module build (only module mode supported)
+- `-DBUILD_MALLOC=<libc|jemalloc|tcmalloc|tcmalloc_minimal>` choose the allocator to use. Default on Linux: `jemalloc`, for other OS: `libc`
+- `-DBUILD_SANITIZER=<address|thread|undefined>` build with address sanitizer enabled
+- `-DBUILD_UNIT_TESTS=[1|0]`  when set, the build will produce the executable `valkey-unit-tests`
+- `-DBUILD_TEST_MODULES=[1|0]`  when set, the build will include the modules located under the `tests/modules` folder
+- `-DBUILD_EXAMPLE_MODULES=[1|0]`  when set, the build will include the example modules located under the `src/modules` folder
+
+## Common flags
+
+- `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug|Release...>` define the build type, see CMake manual for more details
+- `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/installation/path` override this value to define a custom install prefix. Default: `/usr/local`
+- `-G<Generator Name>` generate build files for "Generator Name". By default, CMake will generate `Makefile`s.
+
+## Verbose build
+
+`CMake` generates a user-friendly colorized output by default.
+If you want to see a more verbose output, use the following:
+
+```bash
+make VERBOSE=1
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+During the `CMake` stage, `CMake` caches variables in a local file named `CMakeCache.txt`. All variables generated by Valkey
+are removed from the cache once consumed (this is done by calling to `unset(VAR-NAME CACHE)`). However, some variables,
+like the compiler path, are kept in cache. To start a fresh build either remove the cache file `CMakeCache.txt` from the
+build folder, or delete the build folder completely.
+
+**It is important to re-run `CMake` when adding new source files.**
+
+## Integration with IDE
+
+During the `CMake` stage of the build, `CMake` generates a JSON file named `compile_commands.json` and places it under the
+build folder. This file is used by many IDEs and text editors for providing code completion (via `clangd`).
+
+A small caveat is that these tools will look for `compile_commands.json` under the Valkey's top folder.
+A common workaround is to create a symbolic link to it:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/valkey/
+# We assume here that your build folder is `build-release`
+ln -sf $(pwd)/build-release/compile_commands.json $(pwd)/compile_commands.json
+```
+
+Restart your IDE and voila
