Multivariate testing at the edge allows for comprehensive testing of multiple variables simultaneously, providing more detailed insights and faster optimization of user experiences. This approach reduces the load on the origin server and ensures efficient and flexible testing processes.

Enables multivariate testing where multiple tests are executed simultaneously. A single variant is selected for each test, and variants are randomly assigned to new users, with each selected variant stored in a cookie and passed to the origin in a query string parameter. The probability of choosing each variant can be configured by adjusting the weight of each variant. Variants can be forced via a query string parameter for easy testing. Custom actions can be executed in the request and/or response phase of each variant, such as routing a variant to a different origin or constructing a response at the edge.

A/B Testing

Randomly assigns a new user to a group for A/B testing. The assignment is stored in a cookie and passed to the origin in a query parameter. The A/B group can be forced via a query string parameter for easy testing. The group names, percentage split, cookie name, and query parameter name are configured through constants in the EdgeWorker JavaScript module.

A/B Testing with EdgeKV

By moving the A/B test to the Akamai edge we can cache multiple variants of the same page close to the user making the decision of which variant to serve to the user without making the long round-trip to the origin web server or relying on client-side javascript.

Conference/Meeting Details

Implements a Conference Attendance Code API call that returns the meeting details of a conference as HTML if the user provides the correct code. With abc123 in the key GET parameter, the user is shown conference details. If the parameter is incorrect, an error is returned, keeping the information away from the browser to maintain confidentiality.
