Introduction to mule soft
- 2. The objective of this presentation is to provide some basic understanding about MuleSoft. In this presentation we will focus on basic terms and terminology related to MuleSoft. What is MuleSoft History of MuleSoft Advantages of MuleSoft ESB & Its advantages Mule Runtime, Mule and Mule ESB Why Mule is called as Mule Mule ESB Runtime Release What is Integrated based project or application What is an API
- 3. MuleSoft is a vendor which provides an integration platform which is used to connect or integrate with different applications, data , devices and APIs across on-prem Mule Runtimes and in the cloud computing environments called CloudHub. So that we can expose or get the data from different applications and bring the data back all together to the single API. And any web application or mobile application eventually can use our Experienced API to get the data from different applications. MuleSoft is an integration technology to connect any systems for exchanging their data.
- 4. MuleSoft was founded by Ross Mason and Dave Rosenberg in 2006. MuleSoft was formerly said to be MuleSource. Later MuleSource name was changed to MuleSoft in 2009. MuleSoft acquired ProgrammableWeb website in April 2013 which is a very popular website to discover an APIs.
- 5. There are various advantages of Mule Soft over other integrated technologies. Some of them are highlighted below: Open Source It is an open source integrated technology which means to use this technology to integrate or connect any applications we do not need to use any license software. We can download the required software If any from the internet all free of cost. It is Awesome! Integration Platform MuleSoft provides a hybrid integration platform called Anypoint Platform which is used to build application network very easily, structurally and smartly with proper documentation.
- 6. API-Led Connectivity MuleSoft uses API-Led Connectivity approach to make application network Reusable, Loosely Coupled and more Govern. Layered Architecture MulSoft also provides a layered architecture style in the integration based project in which for each external system we create an API on top of it to expose their data. This API is called as System API and this API is not used normally by any user directly. Then if required, to merge the two or more than two external system together, we again need to create an API on top of them to expose their data together. This API is called as Process API which is more process-oriented. And then finally we come up with Experienced API on top of Process API to expose process-oriented data so that the end user could get the data from different external systems. So you can see how MuleSoft smartly uses Layered architecture style to build out network applications easily.
- 7. CloudHub MuleSoft supports Cloud computing environment for deploying integration applications and APIs. Any many more…
- 8. ESB stands for Enterprise Service Bus is a middleware technology which allow us to integrate different applications together over a bus-like infrastructure. Advantage of ESB The main advantage of ESB is that by using ESB we can integrate different applications together by putting a bus like infrastructure between them for communication and then enable each application to talk to the bus only. This decouples systems from each other, allowing them to communicate without dependency on or knowledge of other systems on the bus. Examples of ESB are: 1. RIB (Reteck Inventory Bus). It is used mostly in Retail based project. 2. Mule ESB
- 9. Mule ESB or simply Mule is a Runtime engine i.e a server which is embedded with Anypoint Studio to run and deploy the Mule application locally. But this server is not meant for production deployment. For Q/A, Testing & Production deployment we have to deploy our application in CloudHub or On-premise by using Anypoint Platform. Mule ESB is a Runtime engine for systems integration, orchestrate web services and configure the runtime environment. Mule is a lightweight Java-based enterprise service bus (ESB) and integration platform that allows developers to connect different applications together quickly and easily by exchanging data. Mule is the lightweight integration runtime engine that allows us to connect anything, anywhere.
- 10. Mule is called as Mule because it takes so much load to itself to develop any integration project both flexibly and intelligently.
- 11. There are various Mule ESB runtime release notes have been introduced by the MuleSoft for both Enterprise Edition and Community Edition. Please visit the below URL for more details about Mule Runtime release notes. https://docs.mulesoft.com/release-notes/mule-esb
- 12. In integration based project we need to integrate or connect with different external systems, SaaS systems to access or expose the data & resources from the external system and bring the data back from the external system to any web application or mobile application . In integration project context, to access or expose the data from the external system this process is called as building an API In integration based application or project we actually integrate with external system to get the data from out of it so that the end user or client will receive the data from the external system.
- 13. API basically means to expose the data or retrieve the data of any resource or system. For example using Twitter api we can expose or retrieve the data related to twitter with the help of its resources.
