Evaluating Apigee? Here’s why you should stop

If you’re weighing up the pros and cons of API Management alternatives, it’s time to talk features.

• Platform agnosticism
  Tyk is platform agnostic. We don’t lock you in to particular vendors or try to force you to do things a certain way. Instead, we work easily as a single solution to all of your API management needs. We work across all cloud platforms and architectures. It’s one of the reasons so many global companies rely on Tyk.
• Flexible and Scalable architecture
  Tyk’s API Gateways can be sharded to handle multiple services and versions. This makes it easy for you to scale up rapidly and manage your APIs as they proliferate. Micro-gateways can only support a single service. This is restrictive and less cost-effective for complex microservices use cases.
• Platform
  Businesses need to flex and change over time. They also operate in a huge range of ways. That’s why Tyk offers a range of solutions. Our self-managed solution doesn’t ‘call home,’ giving users 100% control over Tyk. And our cloud-native and hybrid solutions delivery ultimate flexibility, as you can move seamlessly from self-managed, to hybrid, to full cloud – or mix and match them across your teams, it’s all the same Tyk stack!
• Cloud deployment
  Tyk is platform agnostic and cloud native. This means we can be deployed as a self-managed service, purchased as a cloud service or as a hybrid solution, and importantly the same deployment can span AWS, GCP, Azure, your own DCs… whatever you need.
  Whichever deployment you choose, you can manage it all from a single control plane, even for multi-region, multi-cloud approaches.
• Underlying technology
  Tyk is built in GoLang. We don’t rely on any third-party software and we’re not limited by any dependencies. We’re lightweight, lean and highly performant, unlike memory-intensive Java-based solutions. We own our own stack from top to bottom and offer a host of open source tools in addition to our core platform. These enhance the Tyk experience and deliver impressive results for your business.
