The README lists REST, GraphQL, TCP, gRPC and MCP among the protocols it supports. The [quick start](https://tyk.io/docs/deployment-and-operations/tyk-open-source-api-gateway/quick-start) runs it in Docker. The install guide also covers a Helm chart for Kubernetes, an Ansible role, and packages for Ubuntu and for Red Hat or CentOS, and the packages start the gateway as a service. Tyk Technologies Ltd maintains it.\n\n## Worth knowing\n\nThe gateway is dual-licensed. Code outside the ee folder is under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the ee folder is under a commercial license. The dashboard, developer portal, operator and multi data center bridge are paid components, and the README describes Tyk Self-Managed as the enterprise platform. Tyk Cloud is the hosted option. The open source gateway needs Redis."}
