What is a traffic management API gateway?

A traffic management API gateway is an API gateway solution that enables you to securely shape and transform your traffic. It sits between your backend services and those consuming them, presenting a single, unified point of entry for consumers while allowing you to maintain your backend.

With Tyk’s traffic management API gateway, you have a powerful range of options at your fingertips, to allow you to optimise your traffic flows to underpin seamless performance and make the most of monetisation opportunities.
