Case Study: SK techx achieves 100%+ higher transaction throughput with Tyk API Management

SK techx doubles TPS to 20,000 with Tyk

SK techx, a South Korean tech company providing high-performance weather APIs, faced significant performance and stability issues with their in-house Node.js API gateway. Their system struggled to achieve a target of 10,000 transactions per second, leading to slow data transfer and a poor user experience. Needing a solution that would not strain internal resources, they sought a third-party API management platform and evaluated several options.

By implementing the self-managed Tyk API Gateway, SK techx dramatically improved their system's performance. The Tyk solution now seamlessly handles 35 million transactions per day and supports up to 20,000 transactions per second during peak periods, more than doubling their original target. The customizability of Tyk also allowed for easy integration with their token-based authentication system and saved the company considerable time and resources.
