Performance is really important, especially to user experience. We want GitLab to be fast, independent of the scale it's used at. Right now, GitLab is fast and snappy for people that self-host it, but GitLab.com is not and we're not happy with that [0]. Making our front end performant is part of that and I'm happy our engineers have been working hard on that. We have been using Prometheus extensively to monitor speed of transactions on the backend and I'm seeing a strong push to more monitoring to front end monitoring as well (I owe you a link here).
