Feature request - allow performance tracking over time allowing these kind of views to be available in gitlab - https://arewefastyet.com/ .

One possible workflow -

1. User defines perf metrics in some metadata file in repo.

2. User checks in data for metrics with every commit.

3. Gitlab shows a view of the metrics changing over time.

We totally want to do this with GitLab CI. Right now you can have GitLab CI measure your code coverage, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci/commit/96b17c1735b65... for an example. We can just add a graph and allow people to add more metrics https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13409

Obviously you should ensure that your performance tests are run on the same type of machine every time. But you can do this by labeling runners.

Thanks for opening the ticket, I have added some comments that capture my use cases to the ticket.

Thanks for https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13409#note_37... I've asked some people to have a look at it in the issue.
