Agenda
● Technical challenges dealing with legacy architecture

● Events vs APIs
● Use Case - Customer 360° View of Customers
● Demo
● Key Takeaways

Legacy Modernization
● What is it?
○ Process of adapting to meet changing needs
● Why is it important?
○ Competitive edge in the market
● Benefits?
○ Long-term flexibility

Technical challenges
● Should IT spend its time maintaining legacy investments or creating new
things?

Quick recap: MuleSoft’s unique impact through API-
Led Connectivity
● Organizations will no longer feel locked by
legacy systems.
● APIs expose the data in a way that protects the
integrity of the system, enables secure and
governed access, and accelerates developer
productivity.
● Businesses become more nimble and better
respond to emerging technologies and other
changes.
● Future-proof architecture that supports a long-
term strategy for legacy modernization.
REUSE. REUSE. REUSE.

RESTful imperfections
● Latency
o Demand for real-time interactive services.
● Coupling
o Request-reply pattern.
● Short life
o Not a long term solution.

Comparing events and APIs
Events
(Event Driven Architecture)
APIs
(API-Led Connectivity)
Meaning State of change API invocation
Granularity Typically for one well-defined state change. Expose many resources and support many HTTP
methods per resource.
Synchronicity Asynchronous (as messages). Synchronous (request and response).
Communication path Producers and Consumers API Client, API Proxies and API implementation
Broker Message broker At a minimum, only require API client and API
implementation.
Contract AsyncAPI (schemas in Avro, JSON, Protobuf) RAML / Open API specification

Case Study - 360° View of Customers
The “MONOLITH” (A.k.a. “Chaos”)

API-Led Connectivity
● Key initiatives
o Unlock and share customer data
o Dismantle monolith
o Adopt MuleSoft platform
o Follow API-Led architecture
● Goals and achievements
o Faster, robust, reusable, discoverable, widely
used, well monitored
● What is next?
o Challenges adopting API-Led Connectivity
o Overcoming API-Led Connectivity challenges
with an “unwired” approach

“Unwired” API-Led Connectivity (Asynchronous Approach)

Demo

Key Takeaways
● Agile and future-proof architecture solution: embracing autonomous, reactive APIs
● Event-Driven Architectures augments API-led connectivity
● Provide a competitive technology edge in the market
● Meet changing business initiatives and customer needs
● Friendly for architects, developers and operations
● Security, independence, reuse, monitoring
● Fast, modern, best of breed (MuleSoft + Kafka)

○ No infrastructure maintained
○ One place to develop, deploy, and maintain your integrations
● Acquires all the cloud features :
○ Highly available (99.99% uptime)
○ Secure
○ Multi –tenanted
○ Control access based on complex organizational requirements

CloudHub Connectivity

Runtime Fabric

Overview of Runtime Fabric
● More customers moving workloads to Kubernetes
● Developing own subject matter expertise with container and orchestration
● Higher need for Runtime Fabric that can run on Kubernetes distribution instead of
standalone

● Orchestrates and automates the
deployment of Mule Runtime into
containers in any cloud or
on-premises

With Anypoint Runtime Fabric, you can
● Deploy consistently across AWS,
Azure or data center
● Run multiple versions of the
runtime in a single Runtime Fabric
● Remove the need to learn Docker
or Kubernetes
● Reap the beneﬁts of the cloud,
on-premises
● Manage it all in MuleSoft’s control
plane

RTF vs CloudHub
Customer managed infrastructure
• Can be hosted on third-party
IaaS, like Azure and AWS, or in
the customer’s data center
• Requires the use of the control
plane hosted by MuleSoft
MuleSoft’s managed public cloud
infrastructure
• Includes control plane and
runtime plane

Runtime Fabric on EKS/ AKS
● Delivered to customers as a
package of components
○ Runs on top of an existing EKS or
AKS environment.
● Customers bring their own
Kubernetes, ingress controller, and
external log forwarding and install
RTF within it.
● Customers maintain the health of
Kubernetes, and MuleSoft
maintains the RTF services and
Mule deployments.

Why Runtime Fabric?

CloudHub
● Run a Mule application as low as 0.1
vCores
● Manage by MuleSoft
Use case #1: Long term cost and ﬂexibility
Runtime Fabric
Cost
● Run a Mule application as low as 0.02
vCPU
● EKS charges $0.10/hr.*
● Use existing AWS
Flexibility
● Choose your own data residency
● Manage your own operation/
maintenance
An Enterprise organization is estimated to manage 200 Mule APIs and has its own AWS, cloud
provider. The organization wants to reduce its expenses in the long term considering that the
number of APIs will grow in the succeeding years.

CloudHub
● Uses MuleSoft’s AWS
Use case #2: Security and infrastructure standards
Runtime Fabric
● You have options to use your own cloud
and /or infrastructure
● Reserve a smaller set of internal IP
addresses for deployments
● Leverage based on your own standards
○ Firewall
○ Policies
○ API Gateways
○ API Proxies
A Financial Enterprise organization wants to leverage MuleSoft. The organization required that
the security and infrastructure must follow their own standards. Due to the conﬁdentiality, the
transactions must remain in their own cloud or infrastructure.

CloudHub
● MuleSoft is continuously expanding, but
not yet available in every country
Use case #3: Regulatory compliance
Runtime Fabric
● Majority of the companies are using AWS
or Azure for their Runtime Fabric to
comply with the regulatory compliance
A Financial Enterprise Organization wants to leverage MuleSoft, but there is a strict regulatory
compliance in their country.

Beneﬁts of Runtime Fabric

CloudHub
● Managed by MuleSoft
● Logs reside in MuleSoft’s AWS
● Logs per Mule Application is
limited to 100 MB
Beneﬁt #1: More Flexibility
Runtime Fabric
● Operations team have full visibility into
the managed Kubernetes environment
● You have your options where you want
to store your logs (e.g. Amazon S3)
and archive it in the future
Maintenance
Logging

Benefit #2: Leverage AWS or Azure Services
Use for monitor and alerts
Storage (logs, files)
With Runtime Fabric on EKS or AKS, organizations will able to leverage service offered by their
cloud provider

Conclusion
CloudHub:
● Provides a powerful platform for hosting Mule applications
● Little to no setup required, with built-in scaling, advanced management features and
includes hosting and support.
Runtime Fabric
● Provides additional ﬂexibility and opportunities for granular control
○ BUT more care must be taken to ensure the balance between scalability and performance is
maintained
● Bridges the gap between multiple clouds and on-premises resources to help enterprises
meet changing business requirements in a quick and eﬃcient manner
● Customer’s must have the correct skillsets to manage AKS/ EKS
