Vercel Native Integration

GrowthBook is now available as a Native Integration in Vercel, allowing you to manage feature flags and experiments directly from your Vercel dashboard. This integration also works with Edge Config, enabling you to use GrowthBook's SDKs with near-zero latency by serving flags from the edge without API calls.

What's Included​

  • View all of your feature flags and experiments in Vercel with links to GrowthBook for more details.
  • Login to GrowthBook directly from Vercel without needing to manage separate credentials.
  • Sync your feature flags to Vercel Edge Config to bootstrap GrowthBook's SDKs with near-zero latency.
  • Install into multiple Vercel projects - each one will get their own corresponding project in GrowthBook.
  • Seamlessly integrate with Vercel's Flags SDK with zero-configuration - ideal for Next.js applications.

Installation​

Installation is done entirely through the Vercel dashboard:

  1. Go to your Vercel dashboard and navigate to the Integrations section.
  2. Click on Browse Marketplace.
  3. Search for "GrowthBook" and select the GrowthBook integration.
  4. Click Install and follow the prompts.
note

This integration creates a brand new GrowthBook organization and cannot be used to connect to an existing GrowthBook organization.

Billing​

When configuring the integration, you can choose our free Starter plan or Pro plan.

When using the Pro plan, you will be billed directly through Vercel. You can manage your billing info, view current usage, download past invoices, and cancel your subscription directly from the Vercel dashboard.

The Pro plan includes a per-seat fee. You are only charged for members on your team who log into the GrowthBook application. The user who installs the integration will be your first seat. Viewing flags and experiments directly within the Vercel dashboard is always 100% free. If you no longer need a seat (e.g. someone leaves your organization), you can remove them from GrowthBook's member settings page and you'll no longer be charged for their seat.

User Management​

Any user in your Vercel team can log into GrowthBook by clicking the "Open in Provider" button or clicking into a flag or experiment within Vercel. This will automatically create a GrowthBook user for them if they don't already have one and grant them the necessary permissions to manage feature flags and experiments.

Admins within GrowthBook can manage user roles and permissions. Only the first user who installs the integration will be an admin by default and you must always have at least one admin user in GrowthBook.

Edge Config and SDK Integration​

You can optionally enable Edge Config syncing during the installation process. When enabled, GrowthBook will automatically sync your feature flags to Vercel Edge Config.

Edge Config is Vercel's global data store that provides ultra-low latency access to configuration data at the edge. By syncing your feature flags to Edge Config, your applications can evaluate flags without making API calls to GrowthBook's servers.

You can use this Edge Config data with any of our SDKs, but the most seamless integration is with Next.js using Vercel's Flags SDK. View the docs for the Next.js SDK for more details.

Next Steps​

Once your integration is installed:

  1. Create your first feature flag: Click into your GrowthBook organization from the Vercel dashboard
  2. Set up your SDK: If you enabled Edge Config, check out our Next.js SDK guide for the fastest setup
  3. Invite your team: Add team members who will need to manage flags and experiments
  4. Start experimenting: Create your first A/B test and start collecting data
