Why are we doing this work

In order to providing sizing recommendations for OpenBao (#568356), we need synthetic benchmarks for GraphQL endpoints triggered by GitLab Secrets Manager features.

OpenBao synthetic benchmarks are configurations for the benchmark-openbao project.

• Benchmark project: https://github.com/openbao/benchmark-openbao/
• Example of benchmark config: https://github.com/openbao/benchmark-openbao/blob/main/docs/examples/kv/kvv2-mixed.hcl
• User doc for feature: https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/secrets/secrets_manager/
• GraphQL API: https://docs.gitlab.com/api/graphql/reference/#queryprojectsecretsmanager

Implementation plan

• Analysis GraphQL queries triggered by the feature, and underlying OpenBao requests.
• Create one benchmark-openbao config file per GraphQL query.
