Deploy Tyk Self managed On Windows Using Helm
Last updated: 2 minutes read.
Note
Installing Tyk on Kubernetes requires a multi-node Tyk license. If you are evaluating Tyk on Kubernetes, contact us to obtain an temporary license.
Warning
This deployment is NOT designed for production use or performance testing. The Tyk Pro Docker Demo is our full, Self-Managed solution, which includes our Gateway, Dashboard and analytics processing pipeline.
This demo will run Tyk Self-Managed on your machine, which contains 5 containers: Tyk Gateway, Tyk Dashboard, Tyk Pump, Redis and either MongoDB or one of our supported SQL databases.
This demo is great for proof of concept and demo purposes, but if you want to test performance, you need to move each component to a separate machine.
Note
You use this at your own risk. Tyk is not supported on the Windows platform. However you can test it as a proof of concept using our Pro Demo Docker installation.
