Kubernetes and Tyk – the perfect pairing
Tyk is designed to securely manage and secure traffic from the outside of your network to the inside when you use Kubernetes. We automatically generate a route for your service and API list while also setting defaults. Things like not adding any rate limiting and adding a request ID, so that you can track trust requests as they pass through your cluster.
It’s simple, effective and designed to slot right into your Kubernetes workflow.
We are using Tyk to manage ingress inside of Kubernetes, and it is allowing us to focus on our business value instead of solving authorization, rate-limiting, and other access-related problems ourselves.
