As a data-driven company, we rely heavily on experiments to guide products and features. At any given time, we have around 1,000 experiments running, and we’re adding more every day. Because we’re constantly increasing the number of experiments and logging corresponding data, we need a reliable, simple to use platform engineers can use without error. To eliminate common errors made by experimenters, we introduced a lightweight config UI, QA workflow and simplified APIs supporting A/B testing across multiple platforms. (For more information about our dashboards and data pipeline, check out our previous experiments post.)
