About the Technology
Tyk Gateway as an operationally reliable business platform
Tyk Gateway
Tyk Gateway addresses Open-source API gateway for auth, rate limiting, and traffic management. A running application alone is not enough for production: data, identities, integrations, updates and recovery have to be designed as one system.
Scoping focuses on API Gateway, Rate Limiting, API Analytics, roles, data paths and recovery. WZ-IT turns these requirements into a documented target architecture and can take responsibility for migration, integration and ongoing managed operations.
Clarify functions, edition and operating model first
We assess user groups, data sources, integrations, load, protection requirements and recovery objectives. The result is a defensible scope and operating model.
Required vendor rights or enterprise functions are included transparently in the proposal. This page is the technical entry point; the concrete edition follows the actual use case.
Managed operations
Operating Tyk Gateway with clear ownership
With Tyk Gateway, repositories, artefacts, runners or runtimes, credentials and target environments form one delivery chain.
Data and state
Protect databases, files, configuration and retention in a traceable way.
Integrations
Connect APIs, identities and downstream systems with defined failure paths.
Maintenance and recovery
Combine monitoring, updates, backups, restore and incident response.
Responsibilities without operational gaps
Platform operations, business configuration and integrations are separated and adapted to your environment in the proposal.
| Area | Responsibility | Scope boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Platform and runtime | WZ-IT | Deployment, hardening, monitoring, maintenance and technical documentation. |
| Backup and recovery | WZ-IT | Backup scope, supervision and agreed recovery exercises. |
| Configuration and roles | Shared | WZ-IT implements technically; your team approves business roles and permissions. |
| Business data and processes | Customer | Content, data quality and business decisions remain with the organisation. |
| Edition and licence | Shared | WZ-IT reviews the technical scope; required rights are agreed jointly. |
| Extensions and development | Expandable | Plugins, custom functions and deep integrations can be added as a retainer or project. |
Use and integration
Introducing Tyk Gateway around the actual process
Value is created when the application, data, permissions and downstream systems are designed as one end-to-end workflow.
Typical entry paths
API Gateway
API Gateway in Tyk Gateway is designed around Open-source API gateway for auth, rate limiting, and traffic management and tied to measurable business objectives.
Rate Limiting
Tyk Gateway brings Rate Limiting into a controlled workflow with roles, approvals and traceable data paths.
API Analytics
API Analytics can connect to operations, reporting and adjacent systems instead of remaining an isolated function.
Interfaces and ecosystem
Connect API Gateway
Data sources, APIs and import paths for API Gateway are versioned, protected and tested for failure states.
Connect Rate Limiting
Identities, roles and process hand-offs around Rate Limiting are aligned with existing business systems.
Connect API Analytics
Monitoring, notifications and exports for API Analytics route technical signals into the responsible workflows.
Checks before takeover or migration
Record the version, edition, extensions and licence state of the Tyk Gateway environment
Review API Gateway including data, configuration and dependencies
Map Rate Limiting together with connected identities and interfaces
Verify API Analytics, monitoring, backup and recovery in practice
API Gateway
API Gateway is configured and documented in Tyk Gateway around roles, data paths and operational requirements.
Rate Limiting
Rate Limiting is configured and documented in Tyk Gateway around roles, data paths and operational requirements.
API Analytics
API Analytics is configured and documented in Tyk Gateway around roles, data paths and operational requirements.
Roles and access
Separate administrators, business users and technical accounts with traceable permissions.
Interfaces
Connect APIs, webhooks, directory services and adjacent business systems in a controlled way.
Data and recovery
Protect persistent data, configuration and restart procedures according to the agreed scope.
Migration and takeover
Assess existing data and configuration, migrate them in a test run and move to managed operations through a controlled cutover.
Identity and secure access
Secure SSO, roles, administrative paths and external access for the application and existing infrastructure.
Backup and recovery
Back up all stateful components consistently and document the recovery path for the agreed scope.
Updates, monitoring and operations
Monitor and update the application and its technical dependencies and operate them under the agreed service level.

One managed standard Tyk Gateway application is included in the Starter workload. Business and higher levels add a flexible operations allowance for planned work during regular service hours. Select compute, additional applications, storage and the appropriate service level.
Workloads
A workload is one compute instance with the applications agreed for it.
Additional standard applications
One standard app per workload is already included. Additional dedicated servers count as separate workloads.
Additional block storage
€7.99 excl. VAT per additional 100 GB per month, including daily encrypted offsite backup with 7-day retention. Billing is based on provisioned capacity, not actual usage.

Sizing and deployment location
Sizing Tyk Gateway for real usage
User count alone does not determine sizing. Concurrency, data volume, background jobs, integrations and recovery objectives define the required environment.
Starting-point guidance
| Usage profile | Starting point | Decisive factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small production entry | Technical discovery | Users, data, integrations and protection requirements are classified. |
| Several teams or departments | Load and role profile | Concurrency, permissions and background processes are assessed separately. |
| High data or transaction load | Capacity assessment | Growth, I/O, caches and bottlenecks are measured or modelled. |
| Business-critical operations | HA and recovery design | Outage objectives, maintenance windows and restart targets shape the architecture. |
The calculator is technical guidance. Data volume, high availability, integrations, migration, edition and service level are assessed before a binding proposal.

Reviews
Selected customers and projects in Germany and internationally
GermanyNetworking & ProvisioningVPNAutomationOperations
“WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”
