Tyk 5.1: Building powerful data graphs and enhanced resilience

Tyk 5.1 introduces significant enhancements to its API management platform, focusing on improved data graph capabilities and platform resilience. The update features advanced GraphQL schema stitching, offering a simplified alternative to GraphQL federation by allowing users to attach data sources to any field in the Universal Data Graph schema and use objects from other data sources as operation variables. To aid first-time users or those needing a refresher, Tyk provides ready-to-go Universal Data Graph configurations in the Tyk Dashboard, facilitating a quick start with pre-made examples. The platform's core stability is bolstered by updates such as the integration of Golang 1.19, request body size limits for APIs, and a new "owned analytics" role for API ownership in the dashboard. These improvements aim to enhance the user experience, offering a seamless setup and enhanced security and operational efficiency for businesses utilizing Tyk's services.
