About Tyk

Tyk is an API gateway built in Go that handles traffic routing, rate limiting, authentication, and analytics for your APIs. It can run on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid deployment. The platform includes a dashboard for managing APIs, a developer portal for exposing APIs to consumers, and detailed analytics for monitoring usage and performance.

It supports multiple authentication methods like JWT, OAuth2, and basic auth, and integrates with third-party services such as Redis, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. Tyk also offers plugins for custom logic in languages like Python, Lua, and JavaScript. It works on Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and is often used in microservices architectures.

Tyk is dual-licensed: the core gateway is open source under the MPLv2 license, while the dashboard and certain enterprise features require a commercial license. It is developed by Tyk Technologies and is widely adopted by companies needing a flexible API management solution.
