+"""
+This script postprocesses data gathered during a CI run, computes certain metrics
+from them, and uploads these metrics to DataDog.
+
+This script is expected to be executed from within a GitHub Actions job.
+
+It expects the following environment variables:
+- DATADOG_SITE: path to the DataDog API endpoint
+- DATADOG_API_KEY: DataDog API token
+- DD_GITHUB_JOB_NAME: Name of the current GitHub Actions job
+
+And it also expects the presence of a binary called `datadog-ci` to be in PATH.
+It can be installed with `npm install -g @datadog/datadog-ci`.
+
+Usage:
+```bash
+$ python3 upload-build-metrics.py <path-to-CPU-usage-CSV>
+```
+
+`path-to-CPU-usage-CSV` is a path to a CSV generated by the `src/ci/cpu-usage-over-time.py` script.
