Overview</h1></header><p>Statsig offers two flexible ways to leverage its core products based on your needs: Statsig Cloud (where we host your data) and Statsig Warehouse Native (where you host your data in your own warehouse).</p> <hr> <h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="statsig-cloud">Statsig Cloud<a href="#statsig-cloud" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Statsig Cloud" title="Direct link to Statsig Cloud"></a></h2> <p>With Statsig Cloud, setting up is simple. Install the Statsig SDK and configure event logging—we handle everything else.</p> <ul> <li>You get feature flags and 1 million metered events for free.</li> <li>Enjoy powerful analytics tools such as the Dashboard, Metrics Explorer, and Insights.</li> <li>For more details on the pricing, check <a href="https://www.statsig.com/pricing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our pricing page</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Statsig Cloud is a great choice for those who want to get started quickly without needing to manage infrastructure or data warehousing.</p> <hr> <h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="statsig-warehouse-native-whn">Statsig Warehouse Native (WHN)<a href="#statsig-warehouse-native-whn" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Statsig Warehouse Native (WHN)" title="Direct link to Statsig Warehouse Native (WHN)"></a></h2> <p>If your events and metrics already reside in your own data warehouse and you have a dedicated data team, Statsig Warehouse Native (WHN) may be a better option.</p> <ul> <li>WHN allows you to host Statsig’s Stats Engine within your warehouse, enabling you to calculate metric lifts on your pre-existing datasets.</li> <li>You can choose between two methods:<!-- --> <ol> <li><strong>Using 3rd party or your own SDKs</strong>: You handle feature assignment and provide us exposure data (you randomize the users).</li> <li><strong>Using Statsig SDKs</strong>: We handle randomization and write data into your warehouse for you.</li> </ol> </li> </ul> <p>The first method helps you scale analysis, while the second can 10x your experimentation velocity.</p> <blockquote> <p>Note: WHN is available only with Enterprise contracts. If you’re interested in this option, check <a href="/statsig-warehouse-native/introduction">this link</a> or <a href="https://www.statsig.com/contact/demo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">schedule a demo</a> with our Sales team.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="which-model-is-right-for-you">Which Model is Right for You?<a href="#which-model-is-right-for-you" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Which Model is Right for You?" title="Direct link to Which Model is Right for You?"></a></h2> <p>Below is a summary of key criteria to consider when making your decision between the two modes of deployment:</p> <table><thead><tr><th>Criteria</th><th>Cloud-hosted</th><th>Warehouse native (WHN)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Data Source</td><td>Primary source of metrics come from Statsig SDKs or CDPs like Segment. Some metrics can still come from a warehouse.</td><td>Warehouse is the primary source of metrics, making WHN ideal when wanting to reuse existing data pipelines and computation.</td></tr><tr><td>Analysis needs</td><td>Automated experimentation for every experiment and product launch, especially with metrics derived from event logging.</td><td>Flexible analysis on top of your existing source of truth metric data.</td></tr><tr><td>Data team involvement</td><td>Involvement is optional but recommended for experiment design and readouts.</td><td>Necessary for setting up the warehouse connection and configuring core metrics, but not mandatory for every experiment.</td></tr><tr><td>Costs</td><td>TCO is slightly lower. No warehouse costs involved.</td><td>TCO includes Statsig license + costs incurred for computation and storage in your warehouse.</td></tr><tr><td>Modularity</td><td>An integrated end-to-end platform that spans SDKs for feature rollout, experiment execution, analysis, and experiment readouts.</td><td>Modular: You can opt for the integrated end-to-end platform or choose to use only a subset of capabilities, such as assignment or experiment analysis.</td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Still unsure!
