Bit of History
6
The "mule" in the name comes from the drudgery, or "donkey work," of data
integration that our platform was created to escape. Also, like a mule, it
deliver the strength of a donkey to haul the heavy workload, and the speed
of a racehorse to get it done quickly.
The company originally provided middleware and messaging, and later
expanded to provide an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) approach
for companies through its main product, Anypoint Platform. MuleSoft's
Anypoint Platform includes various components such as Anypoint Design
Center, which allows API developers to design and build APIs; Anypoint
Exchange, a library for API providers to share APIs, templa-
tes, and assets; and Anypoint Management Center, a centralized web interface to analyze, manage, and monitor APIs and
integrations. MuleSoft also offers the Mule runtime engine, a runtime solution for connecting enterprise applications on-
premises and to the cloud, designed to eliminate the need for custom point-to-point integration code. On May 2, 2018,
Salesforce acquired Mulesoft.

 A container service that automates and
orchestrates the deployment of Mule applications
to private cloud infrastructure and on-premises
data centers
 Runs on customer-hosted infrastructure
on AWS, Azure, virtual machines (VMs)
or bare-metal servers
 Requires the use of the control plane hosted
by MuleSoft

 Isolation between applications by running a separate Mule Runtime per
application.
 Ability to run multiple versions of Mule runtime on the same set of resources.
 Scalling applications across multiple replicas.
 Automation application failover.
 Automated runtime update.
 Application management with Anypoint Runtime Manager.
