A/B testing based on git branches

[zappys]

Can we setup A/B tests using git branches ?
We are thinking to move from netlify to amplify-console but this is holding us back.

You can see how netlify implements this here: https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/split-testing/#run-a-branch-based-test

Is there any way we can setup a split test with ampify-console ?

Hi!! Any improvement related with A/B testing? I need it working on amplify.

[Munsterberg]

Any progress on this?

This feature would be great! For Gatsby based projects, the A/B testing approach by using git branches is the one officially recommended in their docs with Netlify. Here's the link: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/ab-testing-with-google-analytics-and-netlify/

I'd also love for this feature to be added!

[intonumbers]

I would also be highly interested in this feature!

[avnerkhan]

Me too! This would. be a great feature to have.

+1 on this feature, A/B testing based on git branches on top of AWS Amplify would be an amazing feature to have!

This is our situation as well. So, +1

Like, seriously.
I got it working by hacking around the lambda@edge functions Amplify create, but a UI to set this up would be AMAZING!

Come on, Amplify team! Please, give it to us 🤩

Any news about it ?? please, we really need this 🙏

@SimonHoiberg can you share how you hacked the lambda@edge functions? We don't find them in our AWS console.

@SimonHoiberg can you share how you hacked the lambda@edge functions? We don't find them in our AWS console.

Lambda Edge functions are created in the us-east-1 region (N. Virginia).
Go to that region and then find the Lambda Edge functions under the Lambda section.
They'll have the description "Default Lambda@Edge for Next CloudFront distribution".

It's horrible though. There's a ton of code, and it took us quite a long time to find out how to alter it in the right way.
I don't have the actual code anymore to share, unfortunately.

But let's use this occasion to push the AWS Amplify team once again 👊
We want this inbuilt!

[jd-carroll]

@SimonHoiberg do you think what I am trying to do in #2812 would also work for your use cases?

[mkarsene]

Its like the amplify team is asleep at the wheel. Thought AWS was customer first... :P

[kaaroIndus]

Any workaround for this? I came across running these manually using middlewares. Nothing as neat as linking branches to the split. Would have to maintain the alternatives versions of each file.

We'd also love to see an A/B testing solution for Amplify!

So is there no way to do A/B or multivariant split testing with amplify using 302 redirects? Normally we've done this in an .htaccess file on non-amplify projects with something like this:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ([02468])(?!.*\d)
RewriteRule ^$ /r [R=302,QSA]

I was hoping that the condition (The condition for a URL rewrite or redirect rule, such as a country code.) might support something.

I guess my best option is to use client side javascript to handle the test?
