Tyk Gateway
Open source API and AI gateway written in Go that supports REST, GraphQL, TCP, gRPC and MCP traffic.
Tyk Gateway is an open source API and AI gateway written in Go. The README lists REST, GraphQL, TCP, gRPC and MCP among the protocols it supports. The 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.
Worth knowing
The 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.
