Are there any examples of using growthbook in server-side scenarios (such as ssr)?

Hi there, I'm struggling to understand the difference between using an Activation Metric vs selecting a Segment. Does activation metric have some time component to it? Like the user must have done the activation metric and then been exposed? Whereas a segment would be whether the user has ever done said thing?

We have multiple ids that our product experiments are randomized by, e.g. browser cookie, user_id, page_id. The analysis metrics we set up in growthbook only make sense when they match the id that was used for randomizing experiment participants, e.g. we'd use a browser-cookie retention metric for a browser cookie randomized experiment, and a user_id retention metric for an experiment randomized by user_id. What's the best way to make sure that we use the right metrics for analyzing each experiment? Should we come up with a clear naming convention, or is there some sort of programmatic way we can prevent data scientists and product managers from accidentally adding the wrong metric to an experiment? thank you! cc @Cheng Dai @Matt Tenenbaum @Shane Mooney

hi! I'm testing growthbook and trying to connect to big query but no tables are being created in the dataset

Hello, Somebody had a problem with the metric when you added

purchase

with GA4 as the data source? I added SQL below, and I got an error and I don't know how to fix. What I'm doing wrong?

SELECT
  user_id,
  user_pseudo_id as anonymous_id,
  TIMESTAMP_MICROS(event_timestamp) as timestamp,
  event_value_in_usd as value
FROM
  `azos-data`.`analytics_262365471`.`events_*`
WHERE
  event_name = 'purchase'  
  AND value_param.key = 'value'
  AND _TABLE_SUFFIX BETWEEN '{{startYear}}{{startMonth}}{{startDay}}' AND '{{endYear}}{{endMonth}}{{endDay}}'

Question: How to deal with build time things and feature flags? Context: We are starting a huge UI revamp in our product, and part of it will involve fully new typography, color palettes, etc. We use Tailwind, so the CSS classes regarding those things are defined in build time. But the thing is, loading feature flags is an async process that happen for each user that opens the application. So guys, did anyone get into a situation like this? And if so, is there a simple way to solve this build time things problem, and still being able to turn on/off the feature flag of the revamped UI?

Hi <!channel>, I'm having difficulties integrating with the iOS SDK hosted in this repo https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook-swift

Hello - is there a way to run 2 experiments in an exclusive way? Say I have 2 experiments that we want to run at relatively low exposure (say 20%), and we want both to be totally independent from each other, so that no user is exposed to both experiments simultaneously. Is this possible via some growthbook config? Or we’d have to roll our own logic to determine that at runtime?

I am seeing this error on the logs after enabling metrics, any suggestions?

Hi, I'm trying to get production setup working for self hosted growthbook instance. I have Kong as gateway in front of growthbook app and api instances.

docker-compose.yml config
  growthbook:
    environment:
      - MONGODB_URI=<mongodb://root:xxx@mongo:27017/>
      - APP_ORIGIN=<https://growthbook.example.com>
      - API_HOST=<https://growthbook-api.example.com>
      - NODE_ENV=production
      - JWT_SECRET=qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmertyui
      - ENCRYPTION_KEY=qwertyuiosdfghnjmxcvbnmdfghj


GET <https://growthbook-api.example.com/>
Response
{"name":"GrowthBook API","production":true,"api_host":"<http://growthbook-api.example.com:3100>","app_origin":"<https://growthbook.example.com>","config_source":"db","email_enabled":false,"build":{"sha":"2dca1f35ceb8ff9748f380cfb6aa481a45109b2b","date":"2023-03-17T18:06:14Z"}}

[1] Why is api_host in response shown as "http://growthbook-api.example.com:3100", config has this set as "https://growthbook-api.example.com" [2] How do I resolve missing token issue, will appreciate any pointers. Thank you 🙏
