GrowthBook
The #1 Open-Source Feature Flag & Experimentation Platform for fearless product development.
Overview
GrowthBook is a comprehensive open-source platform designed to empower product teams with advanced feature flagging and experimentation capabilities. It allows organizations to confidently launch new features, conduct A/B tests, and gather insights into product performance, all from a single, integrated system. By combining feature flags with experimentation, GrowthBook enables a seamless workflow from development to deployment and analysis, ensuring that every product change can be measured and optimized. A key differentiator of GrowthBook is its 'warehouse-native' approach. This means it connects directly to your existing data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), allowing you to leverage your own data infrastructure for experimentation. This architecture provides enhanced data privacy, security, and control, eliminating vendor lock-in and ensuring that your valuable product data remains within your ecosystem. GrowthBook supports a wide range of SQL data sources and integrates with popular analytics tools, making it a flexible choice for modern data stacks.
