MuleSoft Anypoint Platform

Anypoint Platform is used to build a structured application network that uses reusable APIs to connect applications,devices and data. Instead of retrieving random (and possibly unstable) code snippets you can discover, create, and manage APIs by using Anypoint Platfrom.You can discover and use APIs that are created using the industry’s best practices. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform

MuleSoft basically used for Integrate data from one system to another system with using layer of APIs, the main focus of mulsoft is to spend more time on your cose business and less time on IT projects. Whenevera business process turn into an API, it easier to implement that process in the next project.

Hosting Anypoint Platform

Depending on your data privacy, security and legal requirements, you can host components of Anypoint Platform in cloud or in physical data center, or in both locations.

Anypoint Platform components consists on the control plane that are use to design, deploy, and manage APIs and Mule applications. The runtime plane hosts is used for available your APIs and Mule application deployments to the users.

MuleSoft-Overview

Mule Applications run on Mule runtime engine (Mule), it’s a lightweight integration engine that also runs Support domains and policies. Mule policies ,applications and domains share an XML DSL (domain-specific language).

Anypoint Platform Hosting Options

In different locations you can host different parts of Anypoint Platform, either in the cloud or in a physical data centre. The best hosting option for your Anypoint Platform environment depends on your legal requirements, security and data privacy. You can control the location by enable hosting for store data, processed and managaed data of your and your customers.

Control Plane vs Runtime Plane

MuleSoft supports two different hosting options, important to understand the control plane and runtime plane within the context of Anypoint Platform.

1: Control plane The Anypoint Platform architecture components are use to design, deploy, and manage APIs and Mule applications. Control plane contains product features and components that are part of Anypoint Management Center, Anypoint Design Center, and Anypoint Exchange.

2: Runtime plane The Anypoint Platform architecture components are where your APIs and Mule applications are deployed and made available to your users. The runtime plane includes supporting service and the Mule runtime server.

Anypoint Studio

Anypoint Studio is used for designing and testing mule applications based on the mulesoft’s Eclipse integration developments environment.

When building your Mule applications Anypoint Studio features enhance your productivity:

1: Mule applications run on inside a loal runtime

2: Mule domains and Visual editors and API specification files and push changes to a local running app to test changes

3: Configure API specification files and Push changes Integration with Exchange to import templates, examples, definitions and other resources from your Anypoint Platform organization.

4: Unit testing framework Embedded

5: Deploy to CloudHub to Built-in support
