+## Extensibility
+
+DataFusion is designed to be extensible at all points. To that end, you can provide your own custom:
+
+- [x] User Defined Functions (UDFs)
+- [x] User Defined Aggregate Functions (UDAFs)
+- [x] User Defined Table Source (`TableProvider`) for tables
+- [x] User Defined `Optimizer` passes (plan rewrites)
+- [x] User Defined `LogicalPlan` nodes
+- [x] User Defined `ExecutionPlan` nodes
+
+## Rust Version Compatibility
+
+This crate is tested with the latest stable version of Rust. We do not currently test against other, older versions of the Rust compiler.
+
+## Optimized Configuration
+
+For an optimized build several steps are required. First, use the below in your `Cargo.toml`. It is
+worth noting that using the settings in the `[profile.release]` section will significantly increase the build time.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+datafusion = { version = "22.0" , features = ["simd"]}
+tokio = { version = "^1.0", features = ["rt-multi-thread"] }
+snmalloc-rs = "0.2"
+
+[profile.release]
+lto = true
+codegen-units = 1
+```
+
+Then, in `main.rs.` update the memory allocator with the below after your imports:
+
+```rust
+use datafusion::prelude::*;
+
+#[global_allocator]
+static ALLOC: snmalloc_rs::SnMalloc = snmalloc_rs::SnMalloc;
+
+async fn main() -> datafusion::error::Result<()> {
+  Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+Finally, in order to build with the `simd` optimization `cargo nightly` is required.
+
+```shell
+rustup toolchain install nightly
+```
+
+Based on the instruction set architecture you are building on you will want to configure the `target-cpu` as well, ideally
+with `native` or at least `avx2`.
+
+```
+RUSTFLAGS='-C target-cpu=native' cargo +nightly run --release
+```

+# How does DataFusion Compare with `XYZ`?
+
+When compared to similar systems, DataFusion typically is:
+
+1. Targeted at developers, rather than end users / data scientists.
+2. Designed to be embedded, rather than a complete file based SQL system.
+3. Governed by the [Apache Software Foundation](https://www.apache.org/) process, rather than a single company or individual.
+4. Implemented in `Rust`, rather than `C/C++`
+
+Here is a comparison with similar projects that may help understand
+when DataFusion might be be suitable and unsuitable for your needs:
+
+- [DuckDB](https://www.duckdb.org) is an open source, in process analytic database.
+  Like DataFusion, it supports very fast execution, both from its custom file format
+  and directly from parquet files. Unlike DataFusion, it is written in C/C++ and it
+  is primarily used directly by users as a serverless database and query system rather
+  than as a library for building such database systems.
+
+- [Polars](http://pola.rs): Polars is one of the fastest DataFrame
+  libraries at the time of writing. Like DataFusion, it is also
+  written in Rust and uses the Apache Arrow memory model, but unlike
+  DataFusion it is not designed with as many extension points.
+
+- [Facebook Velox](https://github.com/facebookincubator/velox)
+  is an execution engine. Like DataFusion, Velox aims to
+  provide a reusable foundation for building database-like systems. Unlike DataFusion,
+  it is written in C/C++ and does not include a SQL frontend or planning / optimization
+  framework.
+
+- [Databend](https://github.com/datafuselabs/databend) is a complete
+  database system. Like DataFusion it is also written in Rust and
+  utilizes the Apache Arrow memory model, but unlike DataFusion it
+  targets end-users rather than developers of other database systems.
