Case Study: Lotte scales commerce traffic beyond 1B calls/day with Tyk

Lotte scales commerce traffic beyond 1B calls/day with Tyk

Lotte, a large South Korean multinational conglomerate, faced technical constraints in its open source-based e-commerce environment and needed to improve API response performance. Their key requirements for a solution included a proxy gateway, authentication, monitoring, logging, and data caching. They selected the self-managed Tyk API Management platform to address these challenges.

By implementing Tyk, Lotte achieved streamlined inter-microservices communication and significant performance improvements through features like caching. The solution now supports over a billion API calls per day for products, with all GET and POST requests meeting a key performance indicator of 1.2 seconds for response time. Tyk provided the reliability and enhanced performance that allows Lotte to focus on its core operational activities.
