Another reason to use ramp-up is to test if a website's infrastructure can handle deploying a new arm to all of its users. The website wants to make sure they have the infrastructure to handle the feature while testing if engagement increases enough to justify the infrastructure. We offer two examples where this may be the case.

Machine learning adds uncertainty. This has serious implications for software testing, versioning, deployment, and other core development processes. Underneath this uncertainty lies further uncertainty in the development process itself. Models within AI products change the same world they try to predict.

by MICHAEL FORTE Large-scale live experimentation is a big part of online product development. This means a small and growing product has to use experimentation differently and very carefully. This blog post is about experimentation in this regime. Such decisions involve an actual hypothesis test on specific metrics (e.g.

Unlike experimentation in some other areas, LSOS experiments present a surprising challenge to statisticians — even though we operate in the realm of “big data”, the statistical uncertainty in our experiments can be substantial. We must therefore maintain statistical rigor in quantifying experimental uncertainty.
