     - [Squid processor](https://docs.subsquid.io/basics/squid-processor/): It's responsible for processing Joystream blockchain events and creating, updating or deleting the database entities (such as `Channel` or `Video`) accordingly, so that they remain in-sync with the current Joystream chain state.
     - [GraphQL server](https://docs.subsquid.io/graphql-api/overview/): Orion's main GraphQL server which handles all the queries and mutations.
     - [Auth server](../../src/auth-server/docs/README.md): Orion's authentication server (REST API) responsible for handling user authentication.
+    - [Interactions server](../../src/interactions-server/docs/README.md): Orion's interactions proxy server (REST API) responsible for limiting the amount of interactions sent to the recommendations' system.

+# User recommendations in Orion
+User recommendations are outsourced to the external provider.
+Initial implementation was done with the Recombee API, and it is out of the box solution offered. 
+
+### Abstraction
+All the logic for the provider was abstracted and ecapsulated in [`RecommendationServiceManager`](../../../src/utils/RecommendationServiceManager.ts) this means, that if you want to change 
+the provider you just have to adjust the logic inside it and Orion will use the service to send data and get recommendations.
+
+### Syncing data
+- Video data gets upserted only through processor
+- User data get upserted through `auth-server`
+- Interactions data is proxied thorugh `interactions-server` where the request are limited both by IP and interactions.
+Only iteraction that is not coming thorugh the server is rating interaction (like, dislike), which will be synced through processor on MemberRemark event.
+
+### Env variables
+Recombee client is constructed with 2 variables `RECOMMENDATION_SERVICE_PRIVATE_KEY` and `RECOMMENDATION_SERVICE_DATABASE` both self-explanatory.
+`FORCE_RECOMMENDATION_DATA_SYNC` variable is a boolean that indicate whether processor should consider export block height in terms of syncing videos and ratings with recommendations service. 
+If set to true - it will sync all the data for the first block even if last exported block is greater.
+
+If those two values are provided, when you use `make prepare` command, it will set up item properties and segments supported by Orion.
+If you want to run set up script directly use `make setup-recommendations`.
