I am evaluating growthbook for my company, and was wondering, besides caching(at various points/mechanisms), if the api encounters an outage, does the cdn still return values? what is the company's stance on if there is an outage in the api essentially?

We make sure that GrowthBook will fail gracefully

that sounds good, is there something detailing this that I can read?

our CDN is setup for stale while revalidate, so it will return an old value if there - and if that fails, you can set a fallback in the code

ok, so in the event of an outage, it will return old values?

well, it will return the last known value

yes, should have specified that 🙂

ya, so we almost never have outages 🙂

also a good thing

we have Fastly in front of our API

but you know I have to ask, right?

so it will still return if the API fails somehow

yep, for sure.
