What do we mean by “Batteries-included”?

Tyk's "batteries-included" approach offers a comprehensive API management platform with all essential features available across all its offerings, including the free and open-source community edition. This model eliminates the need for costly upgrades to access advanced features, providing robust security options with multiple authentication modes, rate limiting, and quotas for API requests. Tyk also supports body and header transformations using Go templates, extensive monitoring and analytics tools, IP whitelisting and blacklisting, caching options, and mock responses for efficient API development. Additionally, virtual endpoints allow for serverless functionalities, and Tyk supports GraphQL API management with features such as authentication, query depth limiting, and field-based permissions, making it a versatile tool for both startups and large enterprises.
