Frequently Asked Questions

Statsig differentiates data from different environments by the environment tier you specify during the SDK initialization. You can set the environment tier to "staging", "development", or "production". By default, all checks and event logs are considered "production" data if the environment tier is unset.

Experiments and metrics primarily factor in production data. Non-production events are visible in diagnostics, but they are not included in Pulse results. This is because most companies do not want non-production test data being included. If you want to include these, you can log them as regular events. However, non-production data is filtered out of the warehouse and there is no other way to include it.

When initializing, if you add { environment: { tier: "production" } }, this would set your environment to "production", not "staging" or "development". If you want to set your environment to "staging" or "development", you should replace "production" with the desired environment tier.

Pulse results are only computed for “Production” tier events. To see Pulse results, you need: • An experiment that is “Started” (aka, enabled in production) • Exposures & events in production tier • Exposures for users in all test groups • Events/metrics associated to users in test groups

As long as you have initialized using { environment: { tier: "production" } }, your Pulse will compute. This means that even if your code is deployed to staging, as long as you initialize with the production tier, you will be able to see Pulse results.
