Serving Plugin Bundles from the Cloud to Hybrid Gateways

If you’ve set up custom plugins in your Tyk Cloud deployment (as described in this guide), you can configure your hybrid or self-managed data planes to also use the Cloud File Server to load those bundles.

To enable this, add the following to your gateway configuration:

"enable_bundle_downloader": true,
"bundle_base_url": "your-fileserver-url/api/mw/bundle?api_key=your_fileserver_api_key"

Example bundle_base_url:

"https://solid-month-mgw.aws-use1.cloud-ara.tyk.io/mserv/api/mw/bundle?api_key=abcd1234"

Important Notes

• File server traffic is billable and will count toward your monthly traffic quota
• If the file server API key changes, make sure to update it in all relevant hybrid gateway configurations
• On gateway startup, plugin bundles will be downloaded from the fileserver — depending on locations and latency, it might increase the wait time before APIs are ready
