Anypoint Platform

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.
Trial

Recently our teams migrated some project from Anypoint to "Apache Camel" or use "Alpakka" for integration work.

Anypoint platform (formerly known as Mule or Mule ESB) is an Enterprise Integration Platform written in Java.

Anypoint provides tools to use Enterprise Integration Patterns (EAI) and has a high number of ready-to-use connectors to communicate with software tools such as SAP, Salesforce, etc.

Anypoint Community Version is Open Source and contribution is possible. The platform is pluggable with own connectors. Mulesoft is also driving the RAML specification and related Open Source tools.

AOE is a Mulesoft Partner and we use both the Community and Enterprise Versions of Anypoint. We use Anypoint as an API Gateway to combine and transform data from multiple backends. We use it as ESB or Integration platform for loose coupling of software components. We also use it as legacy modernization to provide modern APIs for legacy or external software.
