growthbook VS flyctl

Why did we choose GrowthBook?

I would not adopt a platform that did not support exclusions. I think you should create a marketing page explaining the ways you are superior to the competition. Right now I would pick https://www.growthbook.io/

Seems that no-one mentioned my favorite feature flagging + A/B testing open source tool: https://www.growthbook.io/

Currently have the task of spiking a technical setup for A/B testing within our team application. I've already been looking at Growthbook and react-ab-test, what other tools / sources of info do people normally reach for in their own experience?

What are the differences to Flagr, GrowthBook or Flagsmith?

I work in the marketing analytics field, so I'm not that deep into product (even though I'm dabbling and will jump at the opportunity when one presents itself). Feature flags are being used to roll out experiments. Essentially, you publish code/experiments to the app source code, and based on the flag it shows a control or variant. The flag is fetched from a server and the rollout can easily be disabled if issues crop up. https://www.growthbook.io/ is an open-source tool that seems to be getting a bit of traction.

To begin visit fly.io to create an account. Next install flyctl a command line tool for creating and deploying fly apps. macOS

For frontend deployment, I used Netlify (for the generous free package) and the recommended fly.io for server + database (also cheap package).

Create an account on Fly.io.

You can learn more about fly.io and tigris, we will need to create an account on both platforms for this project regardless. Anyway with the theory out of the way let's get started in the next section as we create our accounts and start building the app.

Fly.io is a platform that helps you run your apps and databases closer to your users all around the world. It takes your app code, packages it up neatly, and puts it on virtual machines that can be quickly started or stopped. This makes your app faster for users and more reliable. Fly.io is easy to use, works well for small projects or personal apps. It's a great way to make sure your app runs smoothly for people no matter where they are.

In this post, we'll start from scratch, running FerretDB locally via Docker, trying out the connection with mongosh and the MongoDB Node.js client, and finally deploy FerretDB to Fly.io for a production ready set up.

Fly is a cloud platform that focuses on global edge computing. Fly specializes in high-performance hosting and provides a global network of edge locations. Fly is known for its scalability and performance optimizations.

But videototextai.com is built using NextJS + Firebase auth + Firestore and a backend deployed at fly.io . Fly makes it really easy to deploy docker containers and that is IMO the fastest way to develop, you can setup a local setup

Alternatives explored: * northflank: While running the wrk test, requests were taking 3-7 seconds. Couldn't repeat Heroku's phenomenon of "400ms-800ms" during such a load test. * fly.io: Reliability: It’s Not Great * render.com: I remember the time when indiehackers.com was down because of an outage on Render, not sure if it's worth trusting.
