Case Study: SK techx boosts API throughput with Tyk

Using Tyk to increase Transactions per Second by more than 100%

SK techx, a South Korean mobile platform company, needed better API performance and stability for its weather and messaging services. Its internal system struggled to reach a target of 10,000 transactions per second, and the team was short on time and resources to keep improving the in-house gateway. SK techx evaluated several API gateway and management options before choosing Tyk.

Tyk provided Tyk On Premises with unlimited nodes, along with gateway, authentication, rate limiting, quota limits, and analytics features. After implementation, SK techx increased throughput to almost 35 million transactions per day and 20,000 peak transactions per second, double its previous target. The company also gained more flexibility to customize and integrate its gateway, and plans to expand with the Tyk Developer Portal.
