Hello, Are the SDKs listed in the Docs page client SDKs or server SDKs? What's the difference between the official C# and community created C# SDKs? Why would I pick one over the other?

Hello, Currently In Growthbook we can make attributes inside mongo Db. When hosting locally, can we change that to postgres?

Hello there, I have a question about the best way to execute the variation. To check if the feature is on and the current variation the best way to execute the code is this way?

gb.loadFeatures().then(function() {
  if (gb.isOn("widget") && variationId == 1) {
    document.getElementById("gb_with-widget").style.display = 'flex'
    document.getElementById("gb_no-widget").remove()
  }
}

Hello everyone! We are looking forward to use GrowthBook as a tool for our experimentation (self hosted version). But as of now, we can only get GrowthBook up and running locally, but not in production. Have any of you had the same experience or do you have any ideas of how we can solve the problem?

When do experiments auto update the results after executing queries?? And can we configure it??? Ex :- I want to configure an experiment to auto-update the results in every 6 hours..

Hi @fresh-football-47124 and @helpful-application-7107 I have a experiment running with 100% traffic allocated to it. I want to run another experiment in parallel to the current but i want to avoid interactions between different experiment. I understand that i can use namespace but do you think enabling namespace for the another experiment that i want to run would avoid any interaction

Good day @fresh-football-47124, can you please advice on Visual Editor set up once you have a moment? Here is video recording for more context, thanks for your help! https://www.loom.com/share/6bc9b675c6a24ddf8101b0042075cbd2

I'm seeing different versions of the GrowthBook documentation for Kotlin (back end, not Android), and I'm struggling to get my project off the ground. When I click on the SDK I set up, I see this sample:

GBContext context = GBContext.builder()
    .featuresJson(featuresJson)
    .attributesJson(userAttributesObj.toString()) // Optional
    .encryptionKey("****") // You may want to store this in an environment variable
    .trackingCallback(trackingCallback)
    .build();
GrowthBook growthBook = new GrowthBook(context);

But when I check https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook-kotlin , I see this:

var sdkInstance: GrowthBookSDK = GBSDKBuilderJAVA(apiKey = <API_KEY>,
    hostURL = <GrowthBook_URL>,
    attributes = <Hashmap>,
    features = <Hashmap>,
    trackingCallback = { gbExperiment, gbExperimentResult ->

}).initialize()

The sample from

<http://app.growthbook.io|app.growthbook.io>

uses

GBContext

and has no API key, while the github sample uses

GBSDKBuilderJAVA

and requires an API key. Which is correct?

Hey! 😄 I wanted to try self hosting Growthbook in a kubernetes cluster, is there any documentation available on how to achieve this? Should I convert the docker compose file to a kubernetes resource?

Hi! First of all, thanks for GrowthBook! It's an amazing tool! Sorry if the question is basic, but when I'm using an A/B Experiment override rule, is there a way (a flag or something) for me to differentiate the default value from the control one? Thanks for your help!

Hi! Quite the beginner here, but loving the tool so far! I've got a question regarding how override rules of features work with experiments. I have a feature that should only be visible for user's that have signed up after a specific date. We've set up the override rules for the feature (attached image) so that the forced rule for users that have signed up earlier than the specific date is first and then we have the A/B test. Does this mean that even though we've "screened out" users with the forced rule, they might still end up in the control group of the A/B test, or are they automatically excluded from the A/B test? Note! I also just realized that I could do the same thing that we want to do with Segments (Can't believe I just realized it, had only been looking at saved groups....). Would it mess up the calulations if we would now change the experiment to use a new segment that includes only the users that have signed up after the specific date?

Hi. I am exploring growthbook java sdk. I have a very basic question. If I toggle on/off any feature, do I need to restart my application for the change to reflect?

Hey Hi, All! I am exploring Growthbook, I have created rule in two environments Production and Staging. I wanted to know how to use those two environments from the SDK? Is there an attribute for the same?

Like here the default hit is to the staging environment

Hi Team, I want to host growthbook in HTTPS and not HTTP. What all changes do I need to make in my docker-compose file?? And How would the routing work as both UI and Backend is running on different ports. Or What is CDN_HOST?? And when to use it?? Please Help. Thanks In Advance 😊

Does growthbook support connecting to a custom data source that is in an AWS Virtual Private Cloud? My network guy is telling me that he’s not sure if we can allow connections by the IP address as suggested in the custom data source setup.

Hiya, I am trying to use Puppeteer to auto-generate data for my GrowthBook demo. My puppeteer script appears to work perfectly but none of the GA events (defined with GTM) are firing, except the initial page_view. I’ve googled but can’t find any reason why the GA events would work when I visit the page and perform actions manually, but not when Puppeteer does the same thing? I’m running a React app locally on port 3000, and GrowthBook locally on port 4000. GA events from Puppeteer are not showing up in BigQuery, and when I intercept requests, it appears that they are not being sent. Forgive me if this question is too out-of-scope; I realise there’s no fault in GrowthBook, I’m just out of ideas! Here’s my Puppeteer script:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const seedrandom = require('seedrandom');

const mainCTAProbabilities = {
  freeControl: 0.3,
  freeExperiment: 0.5,
  paidControl: 0.6,
  paidExperiment: 0.7,
};

const requestUrlParamsToJSON = requestURL => {
  // Split request parameters and store as key-value object for easy access
  let params = requestURL.split('?')[1];
  return JSON.parse(
    '{"' +
      decodeURI(params)
        .replace(/"/g, '\\"')
        .replace(/&/g, '","')
        .replace(/=/g, '":"') +
      '"}',
  );
};

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  page
    .on('console', message =>
      console.log(
        `${message.type().substr(0, 3).toUpperCase()} ${message.text()}`,
      ),
    )
    .on('pageerror', ({ message }) => console.log(message))
    .on('response', response =>
      console.log(`${response.status()} ${response.url()}`),
    )
    .on('requestfailed', request =>
      console.log(`${request.failure().errorText} ${request.url()}`),
    );

  await page.setRequestInterception(true);
  page.on('request', req => {
    const requestURL = req.url();
    console.log('all url', requestURL);
    if (requestURL.indexOf('<http://google-analytics.com/g/collect|google-analytics.com/g/collect>') > -1) {
      console.log('Intercepted: ' + requestURL);
      console.log('full req', requestUrlParamsToJSON(requestURL));
      //req.abort();
      req.continue();
    } else {
      req.continue();
    }
  });

  await page.goto('<http://localhost:3000/>');

  // Set screen size
  await page.setViewport({ width: 1080, height: 1024 });

  let userCount = 1;

  const accountType = 'free';

  const username = `${accountType}-puppeteer-${userCount}`;

  // Enter username
  await page.type('.username-input', username);

  // Click login button
  const loginButton = '.login-button';
  await page.waitForSelector(loginButton);
  await page.click(loginButton);

  // Locate the main panel and read the title
  console.log('logged in as', username);
  const textSelector = await page.waitForSelector('.main-panel h2');
  const panelTitle = await textSelector.evaluate(el => el.textContent);

  // Print the full title
  console.log('The panel title is "%s".', panelTitle);

  // Decide whether to click the Main CTA button
  // use a seeded random number generator to ensure the same user always makes the same decision
  const encounterType =
    panelTitle === 'Welcome (control)' ? 'Control' : 'Experiment';
  const key = `${accountType}${encounterType}`;

  const seededRandomNumberGenerator = seedrandom(username);
  console.log('Key', key, mainCTAProbabilities[key]);
  const dieRoll = seededRandomNumberGenerator();
  const rollToClickCTA = dieRoll >= mainCTAProbabilities[key];
  console.log('die roll', dieRoll);
  if (rollToClickCTA) {
    console.log('gonna click it');
    const mainCTAButton = '#main-cta-button';
    await page.waitForSelector(mainCTAButton);
    await page.click(mainCTAButton);
    console.log('clicked it!');
  } else {
    console.log('nah');
  }

  // logout
  const logoutButton = '.logout-button';
  await page.waitForSelector(logoutButton);
  await page.click(logoutButton);

  await browser.close();
})();

From the console output I can see that the dummy user logs in, and clicks the button. But no GA event is sent. But if I visit the page, login and click the button, the GA event is sent and shows up in BigQuery moments later. Does anyone have any experience of using Puppeteer with Google Tag Manager? Any idea why it’d be different in Headless Chrome? Many thanks for any ideas how to explore this problem!

What’s the recommended approach to trigger a refetch of feature toggles with GrowthBook? Let’s say a user logs in and I want to update the toggles based on some value that’s only available when the user is signed in. Would running setAttributes automatically trigger a refetch or do I need to retrigger creating my Growthbook instance? I saw something about autoRefresh, but that’s mainly for when features are added / updated in Growthbook I assume?

await gb.loadFeatures({ autoRefresh: true });

Or would updating your attributes with setAttributes also retrigger an autorefresh in this scenario?

Hi All! For metrics, I want another type of identifier. But I can only see user_id. How can I create another identifier?

for the id based a/b test with string value, what will be the value of feature at build time when id is not passed? I am using gatsby static site

Hi there! I'm following the steps in https://docs.growthbook.io/tools/cli The auth seems successful as it returns

The GrowthBook config has been written at ~/.growthbook/config.toml

But running the line to generate types returns an Unauthorised error:

There was an error fetching the featuresError: Cannot fetch: Unauthorized

Did anyone experience the same?

Hi. Can I group projects in growthbook?

what’s the difference between default value in growthbook dashboard and providing fallback like this useFeatureValue(“test”, “default”)? If growthbook api is down then will useFeatureValue will still return fallback?

For a/b test, is there a way to know when growthbook has figured out the variant? I want to avoid flicker. so need to use value returned by useFeatureValue() only after it gives right variant rather than showing default and then changing to correct variant.

Hey is there a way to change, or see, the target URL on the growthbook app after creating an experiment?

Hi. I have a question about users split. We use SDK to generate a variant based on user_id. Our developers say that the SDK returns the same variant value for the same user_id and we can determine the variant value even if the user doesn’t see the experiment. For example, when the experiment is running on a Product Page and a user lands on Main page, we already know the variant we will show the user even if their don’t go to Product Page. My concern is in the next example. Suggest that 1000 users land on the Main page. The library distributes 498 users to variant A and 502 users to variant B. However, from variant A only 30 goes to Product Page and from variant B only 100 goes to Product Page where the experiment is running. The ultimate split is 23/77. So the split is not 50/50. I thought that this could be resolved by settings IFs condition in the UI, however our developer says that this doesn’t influence the distribution, because the variant is determined by user_id and no matter where we run the experiment. Do I miss something? Can you assist please, I am confused with this final split we could get

Hi, we are investigating using GrowthBook for an application which has different technologies used in different parts of the customer journey. We would like to be able to cater for the following: • Different teams want to have their own experiments and feature flags. How would you work around this without having some separated projects with different environments? (Since this feature doesn’t seem to be available in the starter tier atleast) • We would like to be able to run experiments cross-technologies in the site. How would that work if we instantiate an AB test using the upcoming Visual Editor in one part of the page and then make sure the experiment ”follows” the user into another part of the application that’s using the react SDK? Thanks in advance

hi all, can I change the name of timestamp column in Growthbook to dateTime, because I already have a dateTime column in my Clickhouse ?

Second question: can we get ...dist/bundles/index.min.js file from our server where we up a GrowthBook?

Third question: can anobody send a link where I can find all required and optional columns for Clickhouse ? because now I add only variation_id and experiment_id
