MuleSoft is a software company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It provides integration software for connecting applications, data sources and APIs, in the cloud or on-premises.[1] Started in 2006, the company's Anypoint Platform of integration products are designed to tie together software as a service (SaaS) and on-premises software.[2][3]
The company originally provided middleware and messaging, and later expanded to provide a integration platform as a service (iPaaS) approach for companies.[4] MuleSoft provides APIhub, a directory that is designed to function as a social network for developers to share updates and information, currently covering more than 13,000 APIs.[5] For consumers and developers, it provides a catalogue of APIs along with an interactive development environment for running basic queries. For API providers, it offers a publishing platform and various tools to automatically generate API documentation.[6] MuleSoft develops Mule ESB, an integration platform for connecting enterprise applications on-premises and to the cloud, designed to eliminate the need for custom point-to-point integration code.
