● Its Composite - single call towards our API limits.
● It uses a single REST API call to access several individual Salesforce services
○ Thereby simplifying your code.
○ Reducing network overhead by reducing round trips between Mulesoft and SFDC.
○ Improving your app’s performance.
○ Transaction management.
● Always returns HTTP Status as 200 by top level request.
● Single response body with all subrequest’s responses.
