Open source enterprise-ready API gateway that is powerful, secure and lightweight. Supports REST, GraphQL, TCP and gRPC protocols.

Tyk Gateway is built from the ground up to be the fastest API gateway on the planet. It does not depend on a legacy proxy underneath and has no 3rd party dependencies aside from Redis for distributed rate-limiting and token storage. Tyk Gateway can also be deployed as part of Tyk’s complete full lifecycle API management platform which also includes a management control plane, a dashboard GUI and a developer Portal. More about Tyk API Management platform features here.

🚀 Getting Started

Installing Tyk

Compile from Source

git clone https://github.com/TykTechnologies/tyk
go build

Go version 1.12 is required to build master, the current development version. Tyk is officially supported on linux/amd64, linux/i386 and linux/arm64.

Tests are run against both Go versions 1.12, 1.13, 1.14 and 1.15, however at present, only Go 1.12 is officially supported.

In order to run tests locally use the following command:
