When integrating the Statsig Node.js SDK, developers often inquire about the initialization time required on the server. The initialization process involves a network request, and the time taken for this process can vary based on several factors.
A key consideration is the geographical distance between the server where the SDK is being initialized and Statsig's data centers. Typically, the server latency for handling initialize
calls is in the range of 200 milliseconds to 1 second.
It is important to note that project size can influence initialization time, particularly when using large ID list based segments, which require downloading during the initialization phase. Without such segments, the aforementioned latency range is a reasonable expectation for initialization time.
