Evaluation Proxy

Service to optimize local evaluation running within your infrastructure, or support evaluation on unsupported platforms and programming languages.

• Preload & manage flag configurations and targeted cohorts for local evaluation SDKs running in proxy mode.
• Expose local evaluation apis for SDKs and API endpoints to enable unsupported platforms and programming languages.
• Automatically tracks assignments events for local evaluations run on the service.

See the full documentation on in the Amplitude developer docs.

Configuration

The evaluation proxy is either configured via a yaml file (recommended, more configuration options), or using environment variables.

The default location for the configuration yaml file is /etc/evaluation-proxy-config.yaml. You may also configure the file location using the PROXY_CONFIG_FILE_PATH environment variable.

projects:
  - apiKey: "YOUR API KEY"
    secretKey: "YOUR SECRET KEY"
    managementKey: "YOUR MANAGEMENT API KEY"

configuration:
  redis:
    uri: "YOUR REDIS URI" # e.g. "redis://localhost:6379"

The developer docs contain additional information about configuration.

Deployment

The evaluation proxy is stateless, and should be deployed with multiple instances behind a load balancer for high availability and scalability. For example, a kubernetes deployment with greater than one replica.

Kubernetes

Use the evaluation proxy Helm chart to install the proxy service on kubernetes or generate the files needed to deploy the service manually.

Docker Compose Example

Run the container locally with redis persistence using docker compose. You must first update the compose-config.yaml file with your project keys before running the composition.

docker compose build
docker compose up
