Question

Hi everyone Lately I ve been looking at Growthbook and I m really interested in doing a POC with it within our company One question that I have is regarding the way Growthbook needs to be configured against its datasource Am I correct that the backend only really requires read only rights to the datasource e g Snowflake in our case as long as we have the necessary data to perform the experiments and pageviews query

I see Thank you for the quick answer I also see that there s an `experiment id` and `variation id` required in the experiments query Isn t that something that Growthbook would generate So then we would need some way to store these two variables in our datawarehouse correct

Yes typically you would have a table in your db that maps a user to which experiment variation they saw

So at the point you run the experiment you would need to log that and store it in Snowflake You can do this with Segment Snowplow Fivetran Jitsu or your own custom event tracking system
