Tyk is an API management platform with an open-source API gateway, analytics, a developer portal and a dashboard. It supports REST, GraphQL, gRPC and Kafka, among others, and also includes features for governing traffic from AI agents and LLM calls. Organisations use it to publish, secure, rate-limit and monitor APIs. Tyk is available as a managed cloud service, self-managed in your own environment, as a hybrid set-up, or air-gapped with no internet connection.
Tyk Technologies Ltd is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with offices in Atlanta, Singapore and Canada. The UK is outside the EU, but the gateway code outside the ee folder is open source under MPL 2.0; the ee folder is under a commercial licence. According to Tyk, the cloud service runs on AWS in regions in the US, Europe (London and Frankfurt) and Asia-Pacific, so you can choose a European region for data residency. In the hybrid set-up, API traffic stays in your own network and only configuration and analytics metadata reach Tyk's control plane. Self-managed deployment gives the most control over location and jurisdiction.
