Performance tests

These tests are run when a release is created from a tag. See .github/workflows/yc.yml

The scripts used to run are performance-test/automation

And the tests are in the following directory - performance-test/test-config. Where one directory is one test. Each test has a autostop point configured. When all tests pass, all their autostop points will be written in the release description.
