Is deploying multiple instances of Tyk OSS in AWS as simple as increasing desired count?

[Olu]

I am not sure how the gateway is deployed in AWS ECS but deploying multiple instances of Tyk is one thing, syncing them is another. There are a couple of similar discussions about this on the forums

• Replication Between TYK Servers
• How to syn 2 tyk open source gateway?
• Tyk OSS in Kubernetes with more ReplicaCount
• How to scale Tyk OpenSource Gateway?
• Tyk Operator with multiple Gateway replicas

Can we simply increase the desired count and will key permissions and rate limits all be controlled through their connection with redis?

I guess it’s possible if reds rate limiter is used

@timothy_park

And if so, could we use this feature to auto-scale up resources when CPU utilization becomes too high?

What feature would this be and how does access control correlate with CPU utilization?
