01/16/2023, 2:35 PMHi, i'm hosting server on my local infrastructure and i had a doubt. I'm caching api response on redis and i would like to know how a/b test work based on that my data is cached ?

Hi Vinicius. The feature flag data includes information about how to assign users in the A/B test
You can use the webhooks to refresh the cache when the feature changes

01/16/2023, 2:37 PMGreat, but who controls ab test ? the sdk ?
example:
test a: 49%
test b: 51%
The sdk control this ?

yes, the SDK does the variation assignment
specifically, it will hash the experiment name, and the randomization unit you have chosen, into a number from 0 to 1

depends if you’re using any targeting rules
if you are, those attributes need to be available to the SDK
we designed the features payload from the API to be cached

01/16/2023, 2:43 PMSo i have this test. Who will control the frontend result ? The sdk or the server ?
In this case 10% will test a and 90% on test b

The SDK will hash the users into a number from 0 to 1. If their number is less than 0.1, they’ll get the off case, from 0.1 to 1 they’ll get the on variation.

keep in mind, that running an A/B test in this configuration makes it difficult to adjust weights after it’s started. Doing so will cause users to change variations.
