MuleSoft
MuleSoft is another data integration platform created to connect a variety of data sources, applications and perform analytics, including ETL processes. MuleSoft has also developed connectors for SaaS applications to allow analysis on SaaS data in conjunction with cloud-based and traditional data sources.
MuleSoft is designed around the Mule Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and their Event Driven Architecture (EDA) to create their Anypoint Platform. As the name implies, the MuleSoft platform connects any data source to any other data source. The platform creates a network of data, applications and devices through APIs. MuleSoft’s expanded view of integration provides flexibility to integrate new technologies without custom coding each new integration.
This architecture follows the current data integration trend to create building blocks of connectors, APIs, and dataflows which simplify integration. Businesses can connect third-party applications, SaaS offerings, databases, cloud storage and in-house data sources to analyze and mine data across the corporation.
