This document provides an overview of Mule ESB, including what it is, why it is used, its architecture and components. Mule ESB is an open-source enterprise service bus that allows for integration between applications by providing services for message routing, transformation and processing. It uses a flow-based visual editor and runtime engine to configure integration logic and handle message exchange between endpoints like APIs, databases and message queues. The document demonstrates Mule ESB concepts through examples and includes an agenda for a presentation on Mule ESB.
