Gradle Builds Reach Anypoint Studio

Reading Time: 7 minutes

This is the fourth post on the Gradle series. At this time, I’m pleased to introduce two improvements we’ve made towards enabling our users to build apps with Gradle: we’ve created a new plugin for Anypoint Studio, and added support for Gradle 2.0.

Anypoint Studio Gradle Support

We recently created a visual plugin for Anypoint Studio, available as part of the Anypoint Add-ons (beta) project. This plugin will be present the next release of Anypoint Add-Ons, but those who can’t wait, can access this through the nightly build update site (in Anypoint Studio).

Some of the new features include:

All things Anypoint Templates

Reading Time: 14 minutes

Over the last few months we’ve been actively building and releasing new Anypoint Templates. Anypoint Templates are designed to make it easier and faster to go from a blank canvas to a production application.They’re bit for bit Mule applications requiring only Anypoint Studio to build and design, and are deployable both on-premises and in the cloud.

Anypoint Templates are based on five common data integration patterns and can be customized and extended to fit your integration needs. So even if your use case involves different endpoints or connectors than those included in the template, they still offer a great starting point.

Where do Anypoint Templates fit?

Here is where templates fit into our stack of solutions:

As stated earlier, each template is based on a data integration pattern:

Anypoint Platform for APIs – September Release

Reading Time: 4 minutesI am excited to announce that our September release of Anypoint Platform for APIs is now live. This update to the platform provides a variety of performance enhancements as well as three new features:

  • API version import and export
  • Application management API access
  • CORS policy

API version import and export

API developers can now import and export API versions to better support the full development lifecycle of APIs. Developers can create and test an API in a development environment and then export that API for promotion to a staging or production environment. When exporting an API version, developers can export the RAML file, portal, policies and endpoint for the version. You can learn more about managing API versions here.

How RAML Saved My Email

Reading Time: < 1 minute

In today’s post, I’d like to tell you a short story about a bizarre love triangle between a server-side application (Gmail), a client (Mailbox), and the “hero of the day” (API Notebook).

Before starting, let me mention that API Notebook is a web-based, persistent, JavaScript scripting workspace that enables live testing and exploring of APIs. It’s an example of literate programming. Hence, it’s a good idea to use it to code the script and tell the story:

Fall Season is Conference Season

Reading Time: 5 minutes

With Labor Day officially behind us, the summer has come to an end. For some people that means going back to school. For others it means going back to work, dusting off that coffee mug, and filling it up with whatever it takes to get the job done. For the newly formed developer relations and marketing team here at MuleSoft, it means hitting the road, and taking the company back to its roots… developers.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll be able to find us at some of the most exciting developer conferences and events taking place this fall. So whether you’re looking to complement your PHP skills, build out your API strategy, or simply learn how every developer can be an integration developer in the time it takes to say “It’s good to see you, Max the Mule,” here’s where we’ll be in the flesh this coming month: Continue reading
