+
+**Dumpling** is a tool and a Go library for creating SQL dump from a MySQL-compatible database.
+It is intended to replace `mysqldump` and `mydumper` when targeting TiDB.
+
+You may read the [design document](https://github.com/pingcap/community/blob/master/rfc/2019-12-06-dumpling.md) for details.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+> Dumpling is currently in early development stage, and most features are incomplete. Contributions are welcomed!
+
+- [x] SQL dump is split into multiple files (like `mydumper`) for easy management.
+- [x] Export multiple tables in parallel to speed up execution.
+- [ ] Multiple output formats: SQL, CSV, ...
+- [ ] Write to cloud storage (S3, GCS) natively
+- [ ] Advanced table filtering via black-/white-lists
+
+Building
+--------
+
+1. Install Go 1.13 or above
+2. Run `make build` to compile. The output is in `bin/dumpling`.
+3. Run `make test` to run the unit tests.
