+This page details how to install Realm using the Java SDK in your project
 and get started.
 
+You can use multiple SDKs in your project. Because the Java SDK is no longer
+receiving new development, this is useful if you want to 
+use new features in your app. For example, you can add Atlas 
+Device Sync's :ref:`Data Ingest <optimize-data-ingest>` feature to your 
+app using the Kotlin SDK while continuing to use Java for everything else.
