Tyk Technologies

Tyk Technologies is a UK company whose API platform centres on an open source gateway, with a dashboard, analytics and developer portal around it. It enforces rate limits, authentication, quotas and policies before requests reach backend systems. The same controls now extend to traffic from AI agents, which the company treats as another kind of API call.

What Tyk Technologies offers

• API gateway — one control point for REST, GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka, MQTT, MCP and A2A traffic.
• AI governance — tool-level access limits, model allow-lists and redaction of personal data for agent traffic.
• Access control — central policies, role-based permissions, single sign-on and a full audit trail.
• Observability — OpenTelemetry logs, metrics and traces exported to tools such as Datadog, Grafana or Prometheus.
• Kubernetes tooling — Tyk Operator and declarative configuration managed through GitOps.
• Developer portal — self-service discovery, documentation and key management for internal and external developers.

Who it works with

Engineering teams in regulated organisations that need compliance controls, and firms moving away from Apigee Edge or MuleSoft.
