Comparisons anchored on Tyk, the MPL-2.0 Go API gateway whose Dashboard, Developer Portal and Operator need a commercial license, against other open-source API management platforms.
Two API management vendors with open-source gateways and paid platforms: Tyk's MPL-2.0 Go gateway on Redis against Gravitee's Apache-2.0 gateway, console and portal on MongoDB. Covers what is free to self-host in each, where the developer portal and management UI sit, protocol and event API support, and the license each needs for production features.
Tyk's open-source gateway with a licensed Dashboard and portal against WSO2 API Manager's Apache-2.0 platform backed by commercial support subscriptions. Covers plugin languages and protocols, API lifecycle and developer portal features, on-premises and Kubernetes deployment, and total cost when the management layer is licensed or only supported.
Three self-hosted API management platforms for teams that need a developer portal and management console, not only a gateway. Compares which components are open source in each (Tyk's licensed Dashboard and portal, Gravitee's Community Edition, WSO2's Apache-2.0 platform), datastores, Kubernetes deployment, event API support and the commercial terms behind production use.
What the MPL-2.0 Tyk Gateway with Redis does on its own against licensed Tyk Self-Managed with Dashboard, Developer Portal, Pump and PostgreSQL, plus the licensed Kubernetes Operator and Tyk Cloud as the hosted option.
Two Go API gateways compared: Tyk's Redis-backed gateway with quotas, versioning and plugins in several languages against KrakenD's stateless, declarative gateway with response aggregation, covering licensing and what each vendor's enterprise edition adds.
