Automatic performance analytical framework and dashboard

an idea by mgorman

My last hackweek project was "melbot", a server-side automated system for running performance tests. This went from being a project to something the performance team now uses heavily. The volume of data it now produces is excessive and problems are easily missed. It's a short hackweek for me due to being on holiday for two of the days but there are three objectives to the hackweek project 1. Rename melbot to marvin. The melbot name was a joke that has outlived its usefulness
