Tyk runs its own L7 engine, mainly around primitives provided by the Golang stdlib, IMO having full control over this part provides a lot more flexibility than sitting on top of someone else’s stack, bugs are faster to eke out and optimisation doesn’t rely on upstream code.
(Caveat: I’m the CEO of Tyk)
- alain_gilbert 8y agoSorry for asking simple questions. Can someone tell us what exactly is L7 ? It seems like I cannot find any information when googling it.
- alain_gilbert 8y agoFor those interested, "L7 engine" seems to be the "application layer" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_layer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_layer in the OSI model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model So communication protocol such as gRPC and HTTP.
