I like your idea. However, few performance problems are global. We have a public monitoring dashboard at https://monitor.gitlab.net/. Embedded in this dashboard are various metrics which will often show a drop in response time if we improve performance on a particular item. We usually find a page or set of pages that hit a particular bottleneck and improve that one point. Also, you will usually see mention of specific performance improvements in the changelog (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/raw/master/CHANGELOG...) and in our release blog posts.

I'm getting intermittent 502's\Bad Gateway errors here on your Grafana dashboard.

Other comments further down are showing other's are too. Hacker News Hug of death?

It's not a great look.

To be fair this is probably the first time the page has been hit by HN / Reddit simultaneously...

Yea, I'm working on that, will be deploying this nice caching proxy to speed up the dashboard.

Thanks to Comcast for creating Trickster.

Never heard of Trickster till now, that's great.

Hope my post didn't come across as snarky as some others have... HN are like the Spanish Inquisition. No one expects.

Yea, I haven't used it myself, but the reports are that it works better than the original PromCache proxy. It's been on my TODO list for a while, but way lower on the priority list.

But you know, when the internet decides it's time for everyone to look at your site, some random new stuff might be better than serving 5xx all day. :-D

New HTTP error code:

HTTP 512 - Social Media induced DDOS due to media related frenzy :)

Good luck!

Anyone with a brain in their head understands this is because people are either considering or already moving to gitlab.
