Tyk

Tyk is an API management platform built around an open source API gateway. It handles the traffic, security and publishing side of running APIs, and its documentation now also includes an AI Management section alongside API Management, Platform Management and API Publishing. The core pieces are the Tyk Gateway, which processes all API traffic; the Tyk Dashboard, a REST API with a web interface for managing APIs, policies and monitoring; and a customizable Developer Portal where consumers can discover and request access to APIs. Features include rate limiting, authentication and authorization, API versioning, OpenAPI support, GraphQL, single sign on, role based access control, custom plugins, API analytics and a Universal Data Graph. Teams can run it in the vendor cloud, as a hybrid, or fully self managed on their own infrastructure with Docker. The site lists three plans. Core is usage based with unlimited API gateways and a developer portal. Professional is a single price with unlimited gateways, APIs and requests. Enterprise adds advanced governance, premium support, multi region and multi cloud deployments and a named customer success manager. No dollar amounts are published and each plan routes to a contact or pricing request. Tyk Cloud offers a 48 hour free trial with no credit card, and the self managed trial license runs for 14 days with all Enterprise features.
