Mule applications can consist of single or multiple connected flows that accept messages from external sources through message sources. Messages are then processed through message processors in a flow. Mule applications are written in XML and deployed visually to a Mule runtime, which can be on-premise or cloud-based. The Mule runtime handles requests from different applications concurrently and enforces API governance policies. Anypoint Studio is an Eclipse-based IDE that provides pre-built connectors and tools for developing, testing, and deploying Mule applications to Mule runtime editions. Mule APIs can be designed using RAML and support HTTP methods, then published through Anypoint Portal for public or private use.

1. Introducing Mule Application & API

2. Mule Applications
• Mule applications can consists of single flow, multiple flow and multiple flow
connected together.
• Typical Mule flow consists of Message Source and Message Processor.
• Message Source accept the message from external source and triggers the flow.
• Message Processor includesTransform, Enrich, Filters and process the message.

3. Mule Applications
• Mule applications accept message and process through series of processor in flow.
• Mule applications can be tested and deployed visually.

4. Mule Applications
• Mule applications are written in xml.
• Mule applications are deployed to Mule runtime.
• Mule applications can be deploy on premise as well as cloud hub.

5. Mule Runtime
• JVM servers that handleconcurrent requests from differentMule applications inoneJVM.
• It enforces policiesforAPI governance.
• Decouples pointto pointintegrationsby havingall (non-mule)applicationstalk to bus (Mule
runtime) instead directly to each other.
• Mule RuntimeEditions: Enterprise EditionandCommunityEdition.
• CommunityEditionis open source.
• Enterprise Editionprovidemany features like 24X7 support,extra connectors,batch module,
DataWeave, DataSense, visual debugging,templates,deploymentand performance
management.

6. Anypoint Studio
• Anypoint Studio is Eclipse Based integration development environment.
• Provide pre built connectors to connect SaaS application like Salesforce, many standard protocols
(file, ftp, http, https, sftp etc.).
• Data Transformation Framework and Language.
• Visual Debugging (EE).
• Maven Support.
• One click deployment
• Building blocks like connectors, scopes, filters, components, transformers, flow control, error
handling.

Monitoring the API.

8. Mule API
• MuleAPI can designedusingRAML.
• RAML is very simple,standard,reuse for designingthe RestAPI’s.
• MuleAPI supportsvarious httpmethod likeGET, POST, PUT, PATCH,DELETE.
• Mulesoft provideonlineIDE for designingthe Rest API (i.e.AnypointAPI Manager).
• RestAPI can be publishedusingAnypointportal publiclyor privately.
• TheAnypointStudioAPIKit plugincan generate an interfaceautomaticallyfrom a RAMLAPI
definition
