How to scale Tyk OpenSource Gateway?

Hi,

I am using Tyk OpenSource Gateway using this repo in GitHub: GitHub - TykTechnologies/tyk-gateway-docker: Docker compose deployment to run Tyk OSS Gateway

It works fine for me.

However, may I know is it possible to scale this gateway? Like is it possible to use docker swarm to scale it? I found a gGitHub repo from Tyk using docker swarm, but it is for Tyk-pro-demo, not for this openSource version.

Thanks & regards,

I do want to point out that a single gateway can perform considerable well.

Like is it possible to use docker swarm to scale it?

Based on the mentioned repro, it doesn’t seem possible without a license. I also don’t think we support docker swarm since the repo was last updated 2 years ago.

It is possible with load balancers, a good architecture and some effort. You do have to ensure your APIs are updated across all the gateways.
