Case Study: Queensland University of Technology streamlines API management with Tyk

Queensland University of Technology manages 32 APIs and 1.38M daily calls with Tyk

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) was faced with managing a growing ecosystem of 32 internal and public APIs. Using multiple products from different vendors created integration challenges and a significant maintenance burden, particularly for monitoring, analytics, and authentication. QUT needed a way to simplify API management to free up its team to focus on more innovative technology solutions, leading them to the open source platform Tyk and its Tyk Pro On Premises product.

The solution implemented by Tyk was up and running in just a few days. It provided QUT with centralized control, simplified authentication, rate limiting, quotas, and analytics. This allowed the team to easily manage up to 1.38 million daily API calls across two Tyk Gateways. The results were immediate, streamlining the API management process and freeing up valuable time for the team while enabling them to continue developing new APIs without increasing their maintenance overhead to a prohibitive level.
