-Welcome to the DevCycle PHP SDK. There are two modes for the SDK,
-Cloud bucketing (using the [Bucketing API](https://docs.devcycle.com/bucketing-api/)) and Local Bucketing.
+Welcome to the DevCycle PHP SDK. The SDK uses Cloud Bucketing through the
+[Bucketing API](https://docs.devcycle.com/bucketing-api/). Local-style bucketing is available through the separate
+[SDK Proxy](../../sdk-proxy/index.md), which must run alongside the PHP application or on a reachable host.
 
-We recommend using the Local Bucketing mode by default, as it performs fast local evaluations of your feature flags.
-If you need access to [EdgeDB](https://docs.devcycle.com/platform/feature-flags/targeting/edgedb) you will need to use the Cloud Bucketing mode of the SDK.
+If you need access to [EdgeDB](https://docs.devcycle.com/platform/feature-flags/targeting/edgedb), use the SDK's Cloud Bucketing integration rather than the SDK Proxy.
