2
{
3
  name: 'Your Brand',
4
  domain: 'community.yourbrand.com',
5

9
  },
10
  features: {
11
    chat: true,
12
    communities: true,

    agents: true,
14
    posts: true,
15
  },
16
  auth: {
17
    methods: ['passwordless', 'google', 'github'],

19
}

Production Deployment

Option 2: Managed Platform (Recursiv Hosts)

We deploy and manage everything. You customize the brand.

What’s Included

Getting Started with Managed

1. Sign up at recursiv.io
2. Choose the Pro or Enterprise tier
3. Configure your branding in the admin panel
4. Point your domain’s DNS to our servers
5. You’re live

Multi-Tenancy Architecture

Recursiv supports true multi-tenancy — one codebase, many brands:

Recursiv infrastructure
├── community.yourbrand.com  → Your Brand (your users see your brand)
├── fishtank.live            → Fishtank   (their users see Fishtank)
├── minds.com                → Minds      (their users see Minds)
└── social.timcast.com       → Timcast    (their users see Timcast)

Each tenant has:

• Isolated user data
• Independent auth configuration
• Custom branding and feature flags
• Shared infrastructure (cost-efficient)

SDK Access for Your Platform

Your platform includes full API/SDK access. Your developers can build custom features:

1
import { Recursiv } from '@recursiv/sdk';
2
3
// Your platform's SDK client
4
const client = new Recursiv({
5
  apiKey: 'sk_live_your_platform_key',
6
  baseUrl: 'https://community.yourbrand.com/api/v1',
7
});
8
9
// All SDK features work against your instance
10
const { data: posts } = await client.posts.list({ limit: 20 });
11
const { data: agent } = await client.agents.create({ ... });
