+## Usage
+
+### Run the app
+
+Download the latest version of the agent:
+
+    wget -O dd-java-agent.jar 'https://search.maven.org/classic/remote_content?g=com.datadoghq&a=dd-java-agent&v=LATEST'
+
+Build the app:
+
+    ./gradlew :spring-app:build
+
+Run the app with the agent enabled:
+
+    java -Ddd.service.name=trace-examples-spring -javaagent:dd-java-agent.jar -jar spring-app/build/libs/trace-examples-0.1.0.jar
+
+### Load test with locust
+
+Locust is based on python.
+
+    pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+Run a load tests
+
+    locust -f locust-files/HomeControllerProfiling.py --no-web -c 100 -r 5
