+== How the pieces fit together
+
+Couchbase Mobile has two deployment paths, depending on whether you self-manage your backend or use Capella.
 
-== Embedded Database on the Edge
+If you self-manage your backend, Couchbase Lite on the device syncs to Sync Gateway, which connects to Couchbase Server.
+If you use Capella, Couchbase Lite syncs to Capella App Services instead.
+App Services is Capella's managed version of Sync Gateway.
+It runs the same synchronization engine, hosted and operated by Capella, so features built for Sync Gateway ship with matching support in App Services.
+
+For resource-constrained environments, such as single-board computers or point-of-sale terminals, Couchbase Edge Server sits between Couchbase Lite devices and the cloud sync layer.
