A curated summary of the top questions asked on our Slack community, often relating to implementation, functionality, and building better products generally.
Can I initialize the client SDK in a way that doesn't retrieve unneeded configuration data for metrics only?
To initialize the client SDK in a way that doesn't retrieve unneeded configuration data for metrics only, you can use the statsig.initializeSync method. This method should be called with your user object, client key, and options. All the event logging APIs should work just fine, but you won't have the most up to date values for any feature gate or experiment.
If you want a subset of your gates/experiments, you'll still want to await the asynchonrous initialization, but you will need to add a “target app” to your configs and to the SDK key in question. That key will only fetch those configs with the same target app. More information on this can be found in the Target Apps documentation.

At Notion, we're continuously learning what our users value and want every team to run experiments to learn more. It’s also critical to maintain speed as a habit. Statsig's experimentation platform enables both this speed and learning for us.

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.

We only had so many analysts. Statsig provided the necessary tools to remove the bottleneck. I know that we are able to impact our key business metrics in a positive way with Statsig. We are definitely heading in the right direction with Statsig.
