Hi GrowthBook, I'm looking for recommendations to speed up response times between our App server and GrowthBook. Recently some response times have been as high as 60s. Also, is there a way to hook into any monitoring tools so that we can track response times? Thanks!

Hi Alex - you can use real time connections for some SDKs (streaming updates) or we have webhooks that you can use if you want to do something custom

Thanks, @fresh-football-47124. I'll look into that. Any recommendations on sizing? We're self-hosting GrowthBook & Proxy. Is there a correlation between number of tests, etc, and resource utilization?
f
not related to the number of tests
but the proxy is serving all your apps/users so it needs to be able to do that well
The proxy should support streaming updates out of the box
q
Hi @fresh-football-47124, another question about this. Is it possible to run multiple instances of GrowthBook and/or the proxy to spread the load across multiple hosts?
f
yes
q
Do they need to be scaled together, or can we just increase the proxy?
f
just the proxy is fine
