Overriding Rules: If saying in rule 1 (if country = DK) Serve 1 and rule 2 is a 50-50% split based on 100% users in experiment Should users with Country=DK serve 1?

Hi all. Now, i have 2k users on site. How can I use 1k unique users in the first test and the another 1k unique user in the second test? I want to have different users in different tests.

Hello Team , I am installing growthbook on AKS cluster. Could you please confirm if we have to use mongodb with growthbook or we can use postgres(Azure DB managed service) as well.

What's the difference between metrics and fact tables?

Does Growthbook only work on splitting users? Wouldn't it be valuable to have the ability to see how the same user responds to different treatments?

Would someone be able to evaluate if this code is acceptable or if any modifications are needed? This was generated by AI and is meant to be my initialization code for Google Tag Manager. The Growbook SDK code will be in a separate tag and 1st in the tag firing sequence. Since it’s AI-generated, I’m wanting to get a second pair of eyes on it and make sure I’m following best practices as the GTM installation instructions aren’t geared towards a less tech-savvy, DIY marketer like myself. Thanks in advance! Edit: The Google Tag is set up separately in GTM to fire on initialization. The trigger for both growthbook tags would be a pageview which occurs after initialization. I’m using growthbook connected to bigquery, connected to GA4.

Hi Growthbook team, I've recently started exploring A/B testing. I was wondering if there is a good way to setup A/B testing on Serverside / backend? Would attribute use be the way to go?

Hello, does the Segment Data Source support Postgres as a warehouse? I'm having some issues 1. When I try "Discover Metrics" it shows an error that says

relation "tracks" does not exist

which is not true, it does exist 2. I am able to set up a metric manually with SQL but when I go to analyse the results of an experiment, the query fails and says

relation "experiment_viewed" does not exist

It seems that the generated SQL does not include the schema/prefix that it should be including in order to access my warehouse, like it is for the actual metric

We encountered some problems with the speed of feature processing. We have a feature that changes the behavior of the product after registration. After the user has registered and received the user_id from backend, we update the attribute in GrowthBook, and get the result with a noticeable delay, which can reach several seconds. Because of this, we may have some kind of glitch We use react, without SSR. All the settings from GrowthBook have been on the site for a long time by this point, so we are not waiting for them to arrive. Maybe someone have the same problem?

Hi there, is there a public roadmap which we can see upcoming features on? I’ve seen several mentions of upcoming features in response to questions but would be keen to get an overview. 🙂

Hi team, we have encountered a bug in growthbook's query generation for databricks for analysing existing experiment data, the date filter it adds in the last where clause has both start and end date as same date because of which no rows are being selected, is there any setting to change this or has anyone encountered this issue before?

Hi, guys. I need some help. I am trying to conduct my first experiment. My metrics work fine, but when running the experiment, there are some errors in the queries. The problem is that GrowthBook is trying to access the wrong dataset ID from BigQuery. I am sending some images.

Hello. Can I create a metric if I didn't create event_name 'experiment_viewed'? I push exp_id and variant to cookie value and send to GTM as event_param for all events. And my metrics are not working because I didn't have event 'experiment_viewed'.

Hi team, Facing a small issue with Growthbook forced values for groups in Golang. I've setup a feature which uses Forced value. The runtime group with the identifier

awesome-engineers

is set to receive the value as 'ON'. I was able to test that it works correctly using the simulation. However, when I try to get the value in code using EvalFeature, it still seems to return it as False. Have I missed something here? Attaching the code snippet.

Copy code

var grp []string
    grp = append(grp, "awesome-engineers")
    growthbookCtx.WithAttributes(growthbook.Attributes{
        "id":      "test123",
        "$groups": grp,
    })

Val := growthbookCtx.EvalFeature("group-test").Value // Somehow returns False

Hi Team, Can we set up an experiment, launch it, integrate it with GA4, and then view the test data in GA4? Does Growthbook create experiment audiences in GA4 so that we can generate custom reports? (This is in case we don't have BigQuery.)

Hi team! We are developing a feature (

curator-onboarding

) that we set to 100% control on our prod env, as we’re hiding it from users until it’s completely build out. When we switched to 100% on the dev env (keeping prod env at 100% control), we received reports of users seeing the experience sometimes on our prod env — when looking at the logs it appeared to be happening 15% of the time. After switching dev back to 100% control, we no longer see any instances of prod users getting the experimental version. Do you know why this is occurring and how to prevent? Company:

If we add or update features (and any associated targeting) we shouldn’t need to redeploy our node.js SDK to pick up the changes right?

We're running an A/A test after integrating GB to measure GB's accuracy and confirm correct implementation. We set this experiment to run on our Homepage over the holiday weekend with a simple

page_view

Metric we set up. We're getting a good split of users, set at 50/50. But getting pretty different results on page views between the Control and the Variant even though the UX is identical. Any ideas what might be happening? And why the "Risk of Choosing" percents are so different from each other?

Hey there, we are looking to dynamically choose a column in the table used to define our metrics based on the value in another table. We could hard code which column to choose based on the value like in the example below, but I’m wondering if there is a way to do this where we don’t have to specify

user_id_1

explicitly, e.g. whatever the value is for

test_meta_data.test_user_id

it will be used as the column name to select in

test_clickstream

. Has anyone encountered this type of dynamic column selection? (cc @ambitious-apartment-58735 @orange-magician-36994)

Copy code

select
case when test_meta_data.test_user_id = 'user_id_1' then USER_ID_1 
else USER_ID_2 end as USER_ID,
timestamp,
pageview as value
from test_clickstream
join 
(select test_user_id
from test_meta_data
where experiment_id = '{{ experimentId }}') test_meta_data

Hey! 😄 Do you folks have any recommendations on how we are supposed to handle only applying a feature to a certain version of the app? If we pass in our current version and it is 1.1.12 and we apply it to everyone that has 1.1.5 or lower then it will still apply to the ones having 1.1.12 since it does not seem to use semver for semantic versioning comparison by default so we get that the feature is enabled when it should not be because of JS behaviour I guess…

Copy code

console.log('1.1.5' > '1.1.12'); // true, with Semver this would be false

hello! I'm trying to setup Growthbook with google analytics. i followed the steps provided here can see some metrics show up in the Metrics section of Growthbook. I've setup an experiment and started it, selecting two of the GA metrics in the result section. I've been waiting for data to show up but so far, nothing is there. is there anything else I'm missing in terms of configuration?

Hey guys! I'm new to GrowthBook and I've been going through the docs. I'm trying to integrate Feature Flags with our Shopify site. I didn't see any documentation specific to Shopify, so I've been referring to the Javascript SDK docs. Following those instructions, whether I use the cdn OR install the module, I can't get past the first step. The

import { GrowthBook } from "@growthbook/growthbook";

never successfully imports and always prints out

Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "@growthbook/growthbook". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".

. Is this something you can help me resolve?

Hi everyone, I'm using Growthbook with Clickhouse for A/B testing analysis and my queries often time out or error out due to memory usage. Are there any tips/tricks to preventing this? I've tried creating Projections (read indexes) that sort by experiment_id and timestamp but it looks like all the JOINs that Growthbook performs causes the memory issues.
