Docker on Windows - Docker Pro Demo
Last updated: 4 minutes read.
The Tyk Pro Docker demo is our full On-Premises Pro solution, which includes our Gateway, Dashboard, and analytics processing pipeline. This demo will run Tyk Self-Managed Pro on your machine, which contains 5 containers: Tyk Gateway, Tyk Dashboard, Tyk Pump, Redis and MongoDB. This demo is great for proof of concept and demo purposes, but if you want to test performance, you will need to move each component to a separate machine.
Warning
This demo is NOT designed for production use or performance testing.
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.
