API management with federated autonomy using Tyk Operator

Move.com utilized Tyk Operator to enhance API management with federated autonomy, addressing challenges in their microservices architecture that lacked shared infrastructure, leading to inconsistent API management across teams. The Tyk Operator, a Kubernetes process, allows teams to manage their APIs using simple YAML files without losing autonomy, ensuring efficient and secure API routing and management. By leveraging Tyk's capabilities, including GraphQL integration, rate limiting, and JWT token validation, Move.com streamlined their API infrastructure, reducing complexity and improving maintainability. The implementation allowed for transparent, self-service API management, avoiding dependencies on central teams and maintaining development velocity.
