Hi Dominik welcome to GrowthBook I m new to the Support team and I m working on getting the answers to your questions Thanks for your patience smile

Hi Dominic You can use Feature Flags without a data warehouse but to run Experiment Analyses you will need to set up a data warehouse You could choose to use <https docs growthbook io warehouses connection guides|any provider that we currently support> We don t have any tools or docs to help you get your data from Contentful into a data warehouse though because we don t currently have a Contentful integration After having brainstormed with the Contentful team about it it would be quite a big undertaking to create one so it s not currently on our product roadmap

Great thank you for your time and answer I have one more question So basically if I understand correctly I can connect my data warehouse Supabase gt Postgres in my situation and from my site I need to update post data to the data warehouse with data from my application to use GrowthBook If I do that will GrowthBook display an analytics summary or do I need to connect to any other data source for example Google Analytics

Hi Dominik wave skin tone 2 Yes you will send event data related to your experiments from your backend to the data warehouse Then GrowthBook will have have read only access to the relevant event data in your data warehouse and will perform analysis on that data You ll be able to see charts results metrics etc in the GrowthBook UI

You have the ability to import sample data once you re logged into your GrowthBook account I recommend doing this so you can look at what is available slightly smiling face

I forgot to mention that you can use Google Analytics to send the event data but you d have to be using BigQuery as the data warehouse
