Deployment Models and Scope

SynckHub uses three separate concepts:

• Deployment: how services are wired and operated
• Edition: self-host capability boundary
• Plan: SaaS entitlement tier

Do not mix them.

Practical deployment targets

• local: single-machine developer stack
• dev: shared, production-like environment
• selfhosted-prod: production deployment for one organization

For self-hosted production:

• no insecure auth bypasses
• TLS edge is mandatory
• stable Postgres + blob persistence is mandatory

Edition expectation for self-host

Self-host distributions are edition-gated. The documented boundary is Personal, Business, Enterprise.

Important implementation note:

• license enforcement for self-host is planned and not fully implemented across all code paths yet

Design your rollout around current server behavior and explicit entitlements, not marketing assumptions.
