What is Gorse Cloud?
Gorse Cloud is a hosted recommendation service built around Gorse. It helps teams create applications, ingest users, items, and feedback events, configure recommendation behavior, and serve recommendations from managed APIs.
Who is it for?
It is designed for product and engineering teams that want personalized feeds, related items, popular items, latest items, or discovery experiences without operating the full infrastructure themselves.
How do I start?
Create an application in the console, configure the data model, send users, items, and feedback through the API, then call the recommendation endpoints from your product.
What data is needed?
Most deployments start with item records, user identifiers, labels or categories, and feedback events such as views, clicks, likes, purchases, saves, or stars.
Can I use the open-source project instead?
Yes. The open-source Gorse project remains available for self-hosting. Gorse Cloud focuses on managed hosting, operational convenience, and a hosted control plane.
How is data isolated?
Each Cloud application is treated as a separate service workspace. Access is controlled through account permissions, application boundaries, and API credentials.
Does it support API access?
Yes. Gorse Cloud is built around API workflows for importing data, submitting feedback, checking application state, and requesting recommendations.
How does billing work?
Billing depends on the selected plan, usage, and any agreement attached to your account. The console and plan information will show the available options as Cloud billing features are enabled.
