Summary
This case study details the collaboration between Modulr, an embedded payments API platform, and Tyk, an API management solution. Modulr required an API gateway to enhance security and manage routing as it scaled its FinTech platform. The study explains how Modulr transitioned from a home-grown security solution to Tyk's API Gateway, which offers various deployment options, including a hybrid model. This model allows Modulr to manage its API infrastructure effectively while maintaining control over data and deployment locations. The case study outlines the operational benefits of using Tyk, including negligible overhead on API requests, seamless integration during the transition to AWS, and enhanced security management. Tyk's features, such as rate limiting and quota management, have streamlined Modulr's operations, allowing for efficient client onboarding and API management. The study also discusses Modulr's future plans to explore GraphQL capabilities with Tyk, indicating an ongoing evolution of their API strategy.
