+==================
+Builders Example
+==================
+
+This example demonstrates how to use Buildrunner with custom builders and random builder selection.
+
+Platform Builders Configuration
+===============================
+
+The ``platform-builders`` configuration allows you to specify which builders to use for different platforms. When multiple builders are available for a platform, Buildrunner will randomly select one to distribute the load.
+
+Configuration Options
+---------------------
+
+1. **Multiple builders per platform** (recommended for load balancing):
+
+   .. code-block:: yaml
+
+       platform-builders:
+         linux/amd64:
+           - builder1
+           - builder2
+           - builder3
+         linux/arm64:
+           - builder4
+           - builder5
+
+2. **Single builder per platform**:
+
+   .. code-block:: yaml
+
+       platform-builders:
+         linux/amd64: builder1
+         linux/arm64: builder2
+
+
+Random Selection
+----------------
+
+When multiple builders are configured for a platform, Buildrunner will randomly select one builder for each build. This helps distribute the build load across available builders and can improve build performance by utilizing multiple build resources.
+
+How to Run
+==========
+
+1. **Create builders**
+
+   From the base directory, run:
+
+   .. code-block:: sh
+
+       python examples/build/builders/create_builders.sh
+
+2. **Run build with example configuration file**
+
+   From the base directory, run the following command:
+
+   .. code-block:: sh
+
+       ./run-buildrunner.sh -f examples/build/builders/buildrunner.yaml -c examples/build/builders/global-config.yaml
+
+   or
+
+   .. code-block:: sh
+
+       ./run-buildrunner.sh -f examples/build/builders/buildrunner.yaml -c examples/build/builders/global-config-list.yaml
+
+3. **Remove builders**
+
+   From the base directory, run:
+
+   .. code-block:: sh
+
+       python examples/build/builders/remove_builders.sh
