GENERAL

Can new metrics based on events be backfilled in Statsig?

Date of slack thread: 6/11/24

Anonymous: QQ: If we create a new metric based on an event, does it backfill in time?

Statbot: When you create a new metric based on an event in Statsig, it does not automatically backfill historical data. Metrics are calculated based on the data from the point in time when they are created and going forward. If you need historical data for your new metric, you would need to use the data that was logged before the metric was created and apply the metric’s logic to that data outside of Statsig [source].

Vineeth Madhusudanan (Statsig): Hello Solar - What surface are you looking to use it in? Experimentation, Analytics?

Anonymous: Experimentation/Feature gate analytics

Vineeth Madhusudanan (Statsig): Experiment/Gates have lifts calculated only after the custom metric has been created on Statsig Cloud. Metrics Explorer often lets you go back in time since it supports formulae etc over a set of events you already have.

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.
