Pre-requisites

First look
Note:
Everything from this presentation/event is based on ACB’s June ‘24 release
(Anypoint Extension Pack v1.2.2).
There are still a few features that need to be added to ACB for it to be comparable
to Studio.
If you try to follow through the steps in a future release, they might be different.
The ACB team appreciates any feedback you may have for future releases.
