Case Study: Scout24 achieves API-first management and secure high-volume traffic with Tyk

Scout24 handles 1B API calls per month with Tyk

Scout24, a leading Swiss online marketplace operator, needed to make APIs a priority across its verticals. Their challenge involved finding a usable and affordable API management solution to securely integrate and expose existing APIs, provide developer onboarding with documentation, and support API versioning. After a disappointing experience with another vendor, they discovered Tyk's self-managed API management platform.

By implementing Tyk's gateway, dashboard, and portal, Scout24 achieved an intuitive, API-first approach. The solution enabled non-developers to handle API exposure and security, freeing up developer time. Tyk reliably handles the company's massive scale of around 1 billion API calls per month and peak traffic of 1,000 requests per second, supporting new business opportunities like paid APIs. Scout24 praised Tyk for its simplicity, fair pricing, and the rapid deployment that started with a local test setup in just hours.
