2. ON A BEAUTIFUL EVENING, OVER
TEA WITH MY GRANDMOTHER,
WE WERE DISCUSSING LETTERS.
I WAS SHOWING HER THE
EMAILS FROM MY PEN PAL
FROM AUSTRALIA. SHE GOT
NOSTALGIC ABOUT HOW MY
GRANDFATHER USED TO WRITE
HER LETTERS DURING HIS JOB
POSTINGS OUT OF TOWN. TIME
FLIES!
3. THIS REMINDED ME OF
TRANSFORMATIONS. SINCE WE HAVE
MOVED FROM STONE SCRIBBLINGS
TO PAPER, PAPER TO A TYPEWRITER,
PHYSICAL FILES TO EXCEL AND
DATA SHEETS, WE SURELY ARE
ROLLING WITH THE DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATIONS. YOU CAN KNOW
MORE ABOUT HOW BLOCKCHAIN IS
BRINGING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
FOR PAPERLESS DUBAI. BUT WAIT,
SHOULDN’T WE PEEK INTO DATA
INTEGRATIONS AND INTEGRATING
OUR APPLICATIONS TO THE CLOUD?
4. THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
HAS ROLLED US OVER TO MULESOFT.
MULESOFT IS A DATA INTEGRATION
PLATFORM THAT MANY OF YOU DON’T
KNOW MUCH ABOUT. SO, I’VE COME UP
WITH A BLOGPOST COVERING THE A TO Z
OF MULESOFT.
6. ROSS MANSON AND DAVE ROSENBERG
FOUNDED AZECHI. INC IN 2006, AND
CHANGED THE COMPANY NAME TO
MULESOFT IN 2009. IN MAY 2018,
SALESFORCE BOUGHT MULESOFT
ACQUISITION, AND CURRENTLY, THE
COMPANY HAS OVER 1400 EMPLOYEES
AND 1600 CUSTOMERS.
7. THE WORD ‘MULE’ IN ITS NAME
MEANS ‘DONKEY-WORK’ OR HARD
WORK. THE PURPOSE OF MULESOFT IS
TO REDUCE THE HEAVY WORKLOAD
OF DATA INTEGRATION AND GET
IT DONE WITH THE SPEED OF A
RACEHORSE.
8. SO, IN TECHNICAL WORDS,
MULESOFT IS AN INTEGRATION
PLATFORM ((MULE ESB &
CLOUDHUB) THAT GUIDES
ENTERPRISES ON CONNECTING
DATA, DEVICES, AND SAAS
APPLICATIONS AS WELL AS
ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS ON
CLOUD PLATFORMS.
FURTHER, TO UNDERSTAND
MULESOFT, LET ME TAKE YOU
DEEPER.
10. MIDDLEWARE IS A LAYER BETWEEN TWO
APPLICATIONS THAT GLUES THEM
TOGETHER AND ELIMINATES THE
INTEGRATION TROUBLES. THE

ENABLES ACCESSIBLE COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN APPLICATIONS.

SECURE CLOUD INTEGRATION WITH YOUR

WITHOUT INSTALLING OR MANAGING
MIDDLEWARE. THE MULE ESB, ALONG
WITH CLOUDHUB- A PAAS – PLATFORM AS
A SERVICE, IS AN INTEGRATED PLATFORM
AS A SERVICE (IPAAS).
