Born out of necessity

THE LONG STORY (BUT JUST AS SWEET)

In 2014, the API management landscape lacked affordable and user-friendly options. Frustrated by the complexity and cost, Martin Buhr, our dev-founder, got to work on something a bit different. Something that would shake up the status quo; that could be whatever you want.

The result: An engineering triumph, a new way of working, and the best talent from across the globe. The Tyk Open Source API Gateway was launched in 2016. In the (almost) decade since its first inception, the platform has been meticulously honed to meet enterprise demands, yet remained agile enough for the dynamic world of startups and side hustles. Tyk has been embraced by tens of thousands of businesses, and hundreds of thousands of users, around the world – including some of the world’s largest enterprises in some of the most highly-regulated industries.

We don’t believe in SanFran offices or change consultants. We’re all about engineering – powerful, performant, and finely tooled – with the best team of engineers, developers and specialists spread all over the world.

For years, we at Tyk were labelled Visionaries in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for API Management. It was a nod to how we’ve continuously pushed the boundaries of API management. In 2023, we were finally recognised as Leaders, a reflection that we’re clearly doing something right. Those crazy, sometimes contrarian, ideas have ultimately helped shape the market around us.
