MuleSoft

MuleSoft is an integration software company that provides the Anypoint Platform, an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) and API management solution. It enables organizations to connect applications, data, and devices across cloud and on‑premises environments.

The company was founded in 2006 by Ross Mason in San Francisco. It developed RAML, a modeling language for APIs, and expanded into an integrated platform for designing, building, deploying, and managing APIs and integrations. Salesforce acquired MuleSoft in 2018 for about $6.5 billion, and MuleSoft operates as part of Salesforce to support the broader Customer 360 and integration strategy.

Anypoint Platform combines multiple components to support integration workflows. Anypoint Studio provides an integrated development environment for building integrations, while Anypoint Design Center supports API design and specifications. Anypoint Exchange acts as a repository for connectors, templates, and APIs, and Anypoint Runtime Manager handles deployment and runtime operations. Anypoint API Manager enables policy enforcement and security for APIs. The Mule runtime engine, often referred to as Mule, executes integration flows, and DataWeave is used for data transformation. The platform offers a wide range of connectors to enterprise systems such as Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Workday, and NetSuite.

The architecture promotes API-led connectivity, with layers including System APIs, Process APIs, and Experience APIs. It supports hybrid deployments across cloud and on‑premises, with security, governance, and monitoring built into the platform. MuleSoft is used by enterprises to modernize legacy integrations, enable API ecosystems, and accelerate digital transformation.
