What is Mule?

Mule, also known as Mule ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) and now part of the Anypoint Platform from MuleSoft (now a Salesforce company), is a Java-based integration platform that allows businesses to connect various applications, data sources, and APIs. It acts as a message broker and integration hub, enabling seamless data exchange and process automation across different systems. Mule is commonly used for API management, service-oriented architecture (SOA), and application integration projects, supporting various integration patterns like data transformation, routing, and orchestration. It is designed for both on-premises and cloud environments.
