Rename Memory group to Application Performance group
Summary
One of the key themes of the Enablement Section is to offer a consistently great user experience regardless of location or scale. GitLab is increasingly being identified as a business-critical application with attendant requirements. It is therefore important for GitLab to be a consistently reliable, performant service for all users to fulfill its potential.
The feedback around performance has been very broad and has made it challenging for Product teams to directly address users' concerns. We need a team to fully focus on performance at all levels above infrastructure. The Memory Group has been running multiple such performance efforts on the application level for a while now, so we have decided to expand its scope and reposition it as an Application Performance Group.
Result: rename the product category and team accordingly.
