A/B Testing, Now with EdgeKV

Now that we’ve written the framework of our code, let’s layer in EdgeKV (EKV), our distributed key-value store database. Before getting started, we recommend downloading and installing the EdgeKV command-line interface (CLI) to use for these examples. You may also want to review the documentation of the EKV data model to better understand it. The uppermost element of our data model is the namespace, which contains groups; groups contain individual name-value pairs called items. Continue reading A/B Testing, Now with EdgeKV

One common application using these two products is an A/B test: showing users one of two variants of the same webpage to determine which page performs better. Let’s build that together.
