growthbookusers #announcements

Hi, I am interested in using growth book for feature flagging and A/B testing and I have some questions • How package Starter, Pro and Enterprise work in self-hosting and how to choose them there ? • Can single experiment have 2 separate results on 2 different periods ? For example, I have experiment "A" and I want to run it for first result on Sep 13th - Sep 15th and for the second result on Sep 17th - 19th • Does growth book come with Bayesian method by default ? • I have choices between Redshift and Athena. Which one should I use to integrate with growth book if my focus are scalability and performance ?

Hi! We're experiencing problems with updating our feature flag settings after saveing and publishing changes. When I check the cdn.growthbook.io/api/features... URL of our settings I still sese old

"dateUpdated":"2023-09-12T09:56:45.778Z"

instead of the time when I updated changes few hours later. How can I fix this?

Hi! I would like to use GrowthBook for analyze experiments that I'm currently setting up. Just a few questions: • The platform is very intuitive and easy to use. Thus, I would like to give the instrument to the business people to do self live experiment monitoring. What do you think about the peeking problem in this situation? • I read from your white paper that there is no Fixed Horizon using Bayesian approach, is it true also with uninformative priors? What about Robinson's post ? • What are the differences between the Bayesian approach with uninformative priors and the Frequentist approach? • Set a risk threshold is the only metric that you suggest for ending an experiment? • Have you planned the issue https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/issues/1233? Thank you!!

Hi, I have some more questions • How can I achieve to know separate results by device id ? For example, In the same experiment, I want to have separate result of desktop device and have separate result of mobile device • Can I use my own service/tool to put data into data source of GrowthBook's metrics or Am I required to use some GrowthBook tool ? For example, I want to create my own tool to save purchase record into the metrics data source

Hey, are there any plans to enable users to create saved groups based on SQL queries from the data source? I envision a situation where I might hit payload limits using the REST API. Thank you!

What is the recommended image tag to use for growthbook proxy in production? Is the

latest

considered stable enough for prod or should we stick to the most recent

Hi! We’re one company running two e-commerce sites with different tech stacks. They do have the BigQuery project in common. Should we use two separate GrowthBook setups?

Hi everyone. I have an issue with GB, I setup some targeting group on my feature. like for instance country not equal to 'GB'.

Copy code

trackingCallback: async (experiment, result) => {
    await sendSomeEvent(experiment, result)
},

when I test it manually everything seems right and trackingCallback ( and sendSomeEvent ) is not being called*. But* in larger scale when the code is on production I see events are being called for country GB which is not expected coz I want to exclude that country. ( I'm setting country as an attribute )

Copy code

growthBook.setAttributes({ country });

I don't understand why this is happening.

Is it possible to preserve the behavior of an experiment, but turn off its tracking? When we finish up with price testing, we typically want to keep the affected users' prices consistent forever, but no longer want to consume analytics events with it

Hello, I am wondering is there a way to check if feature is on for user without enrolling him into the experiment. I thought

useFeatureIsOn

does that but from what I can see it just calls evalFeature under the hood which per docs calls tracking. Our use case is that we have specific conditions on when user needs to be enrolled in the experiment so we can't enroll him just to check if feature is on. For example we have 3 CTAs which change based on the experiment. All of those need to check if feature is on but only one of them should actually trigger enrollment.

Hi! When running queries in an experiment with the date dimension, is there a possibility to copy the result of a query in 'View Queries'? You can copy the query ran by GrowthBook but not the result, so if i want to do an analysis using the result i have to re-run the query in my data warehouse which is unnecessary - is there a way to easily copy the result?

Hi i'm seeing the below docs for golang sdk, I'm going to have lot of requests am I expected to run this for each request assuming I get a different userid in each request? isn't there a single init I call and then polling for update features globally for all features begins in background instead of making the below request for cdn.growthbook.io for each request? I'm aware of the proxy caching but this would add additional complexity looking into a solution that will poll configuration in background without requiring me to install a new service/proxy. https://docs.growthbook.io/lib/go#quick-usage

Copy code

// Get JSON from GrowthBook and deserialize it into GBFeaturesResponse struct
res, err := http.Get("<https://cdn.growthbook.io/api/features/><environment_key>")
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Error fetching features from GrowthBook: %s \n", err)
    os.Exit(1)
}

var featuresResponse GBFeaturesResponse
err = json.NewDecoder(res.Body).Decode(&featuresResponse)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Error decoding JSON: %s \n", err)
    os.Exit(1)
}

features := growthbook.ParseFeatureMap(featuresResponse.Features)

Hello team, if there's anyone who's using mixpanel as their datasource for growthbook, can someone tell me since when was JQL placed in maintenance mode by mixpanel? and how inaccurate were your results during that?

Hi, I’m trying to update a single experiment from the API, but no matter how I format the request data I get an error like

Unrecognized key(s) in object: '{ name: \"test_experiment\"}'"}%

. I have no problem getting experiment data via API (we’re self-hosted), but following the documentation to update an experiment (https://docs.growthbook.io/api#tag/experiments/operation/updateExperiment) doesn’t work, and neither have a few variations on that (eg sending the data as a json file). This may be more of an API question (I don’t work with them often) than a GB one, but any advice you have would be appreciated. (Googling the unrecognized key error hasn’t helped.) Thanks!

When running an analysis for an experiment using a metric that is collecting data successfully when the query runs from the metrics tab the query fails with error.

Copy code

Not found: Dataset xxx:my_dataset was not found in location US

The query from on the metrics tab has the dataset specified in my datasource connection info instead of "_my_dataset"._ How can I ensure the query for my metric analysis takes the correct Dataset from my datasource connection info?

Hi Team I am integrating Growthboon into the WordPress plugin. I am getting this error:

Copy code

Must set an HTTP Client before loading features.

It's because we using managed shared hosting and it dies not have PSR HTTP client Unfortunately this can not be enable on the managed shared hosting. What's the other option to use it in the PHP/WordPress ?

Something looks a bit odd with one of the metrics (the second one), the number do not align with Chance to Beat Control

Are there plans to introduce more mongodb operators for the advanced targeting of users in override rules? I am specifically looking for the

$mod

operator to target specific users in such a way:

Copy code

{
  "userId": {
    "$mod": [
      3,
      0
    ]
  }
}

Thank you 🙂

Heya! We’ve expressed interest in using GrowthBook across our two e-commerce sites - operating in a few nordic countries. Our legal dpt. is looking into this tool from a GDPR perspective, etc. Is there any documentation that can help them understand what kind of user data is being processed and how?

Hello! My team and I have been trying to use the GrowthBook Google Chrome extension on our website to look at/ toggle flags, but it either shows blank information or just keeps asking us to reload and never does. It happens on and off. Has anyone run into this issue before and is there a way to fix it?

Hi, guys. I am working on choosing document DB for GrowthBook. I am interested in AWS DocumentDB because most of my services are already AWS's. Do I have to concern about MongoDB-compatibility of AWS DocumentDB ? I heard that AWS DocumentDB cannot fully replace MongoDB ?

Hi all! I’m adding Data Sources to GrowthBook, using BigQuery • Is it better to create new data source for every dataset in BigQuery I want to use? Because I have to select specific dataset when connecting a new data source. It turns out that I need to create multiple data sources to use several datasets in BigQuery? • What is the frequency with which metrics are updated, and thus scripts are run with a connection to BigQuery during the experiment (when the experiment is active)? Is it once a day, and data is pulled from BigQuery only for 1 day?
