Simplifying proof of concept: Running Enterprise Portal and Tyk Pro in Docker
Blog post from Tyk
Proof of concept (PoC) testing for Tyk Pro and the Tyk Enterprise Portal can be efficiently conducted using Docker, which allows for quick deployment and evaluation of these components. This method is particularly advantageous because Docker's containerization encapsulates applications and their dependencies, ensuring consistency across environments. Tyk is an API management platform that aids in creating, securing, and publishing APIs, making it a powerful tool for transforming ideas into business results. The Tyk Enterprise Portal connects to the Tyk Dashboard to synchronize policies and create API products and plans, while also storing metadata in a SQL database. By using the Tyk Pro Docker Demo repository, users can deploy the necessary components swiftly, allowing them to focus on assessing Tyk's capabilities rather than spending excessive time on setup. This approach facilitates a smooth PoC experience, making it easy to test the platform's functionality and validate its potential to meet business needs.
