Architecture

The Tyk Gateway can run completely independently, requiring only a Redis database, and can scale horizontally: Open Source Architecture

Requirements

MongoDB / PostgreSQL

Tyk Dashboard requires a persistent datastore for its operations. By default MongoDB is used. From Tyk v4.0, we also support PostgreSQL. See Database Options for a list of versions and drop-in replacements we support.

Redis

Tyk Gateway requires Redis for its operations. Here is the list of supported versions: Supported Versions
  • Tyk 5.3 supports Redis 6.2.x, 7.0.x, and 7.2.x
  • Tyk 5.2.x and earlier supports Redis 6.0.x and Redis 6.2.x only.
