This document provides an overview of API-led connectivity and the Anypoint Platform by MuleSoft. It discusses how a common project-based integration approach can lead to tight coupling and brittleness over time. The API-led connectivity approach advocates designing reusable APIs that can be discovered and consumed through self-service. This enables increased speed, agility, and innovation. The Anypoint Platform provides a unified solution for API design, deployment, management and analytics across cloud and on-premise environments.
