+Sync Gateway is a secure, high-performance gateway designed for cloud-to-edge data synchronization. It serves as the synchronization server in a Couchbase Mobile deployment, enabling mobile, web, and IoT applications to view and sync data with Couchbase Server.
 
-include::partial$_set_page_context.adoc[]
+You can use Sync Gateway in conjunction with Couchbase Lite for full bi-directional sync between edge devices and the cloud. It provides fine-grained access control, RESTful API, and secure sync capabilities.
 
+== Why Use Sync Gateway?

-:topic-group: Start Here!
-:param-abstract: pass:q[This is *Step 1* in Sync Gateway's Start Here! topic group.]
-:param-related: {get-started-prepare--xref}  |  {get-started-install--xref}  |  {get-started-verify-install--xref}

-// END -- Page Heading
+* Bi-directional synchronization: Sync data between Couchbase Lite clients and Couchbase Server with real-time updates.
 
+* Secure access control: Supports RBAC, channels, and sync functions.
 
-== Getting Started with Sync Gateway
+* RESTful API: Public, Admin and Metric REST API interfaces for data and configuration access.

-Sync Gateway is the synchronization server in a Couchbase Mobile deployment.
-It is designed to provide data synchronization for large-scale interactive web, mobile, and IoT applications
-// end::intro[]
--- see: <<fig-mobile-server>>.
+== Key Capabilities
 
-[#fig-mobile-server]
-.Couchbase Mobile -- Deployment Architecture
-image::cbm-architecture.png[]
+* Fine-grained data distribution using channels for efficient synchronization.
 
-As you can see from <<fig-mobile-server>> Sync Gateway synchronizes changes made by web clients through its REST API, Couchbase Lite mobile-device applications, and Couchbase Server buckets.
+* Sync Function support: Customizable business logic for validation, transformation, and access control.
 
-You can read more about the Data Synchronization process in {sync-with-couchbase-server--xref}.
-Some of its most central, and commonly used features, are those used to ensure secure **Access Control**.
+* Role-Based Access Control.
 
-Sync Gateway assures secure access control using:
+* RESTful API: Public, Admin and Metric REST API interfaces for data and configuration access.
 
-* **User authentication**, which ensures that only authorized users can connect to Sync Gateway.
-For more information see the
-{users--xref}, {roles--xref} and {authentication-users--xref} content.
+* Integration with Couchbase Lite and Couchbase Server.
 
-* *Data Routing*, which ensures that authorized users can only access documents in those {channels--xref} assigned to them and only in accordance with their assigned privileges.
-You can set those privileges to confer {read-access--xref} and-or {write-access--xref} as required.
+* Supports peer-to-peer, cloud, and hybrid sync topologies.
 
-The business logic behind the validation and authorization of document access is provided by the customizable {sync-function--xref}.
+// We need to go up one heading level to break the previous h2 div (with flex-basis 50%).
