Hey, team! I just started using GrowthBook in our React application. Going through the documentation, I saw a comment that got me intrigued:

// Load feature definitions from API
  // In production, we recommend putting a CDN in front of the API endpoint
  fetch('api-endpoint')
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .then((json) => {
      growthbook.setFeatures(json.features);
    });

What I’d like to know is why are putting a CDN in front of the API endpoint recommended in this instance? Is the API endpoint private?

its more about reducing 3rd party dependancies

Oooh, okay. That makes sense. We are self hosting.

sure thing

@fresh-football-47124 what do you have to cache locally in my app? The response from the API endpoint (directly or behind CDN)?

we encourage caching of the feature json

Yes indeed. So the assignment also works locally (because you get all experiments + config in that JSON)? Does this approach also works for distributed frontend apps?
