2. What Is a Center for Enablement (C4E)?
A Center for Enablement (C4E) helps businesses build and drive their assets in a successful, fast, and agile manner. But to get to that point, there needs to be a shift in mindset to achieve true digital transformation. Want to have a more agile way of conducting business? Learn what a C4E is and how shifting from a production-based to a production AND consumption-based delivery model makes all the difference.

4. 6 Fundamental Principles of Microservice Design
Digital transformation is rampant, and there are too many disruptive tech trends to keep up with. To thrive in the ever-evolving digital age, companies need to get on board with microservice design.
To learn more about the six principles of microservice design (autonomy, loose coupling, reuse, fault tolerance, composability, and discoverability), see what Ma-Keba Frye says in her article, 6 Fundamental Principles of Microservice Design.
5. Announcing DataWeave Libraries in Exchange
You spoke, we listened. After hearing how DataWeave scripts can become a critical part of Mule apps, covering complex logic that often requires replication, we recognized the need to share and document that logic across applications. Thus, DataWeave Libraries in Exchange came to fruition.
Learn how to build, publish, and reuse your DataWeave Libraries in Ana Felisatti’s blog Announcing DataWeave Libraries in Exchange.
6. Announcing MuleSoft CloudHub 2.0
You’re not wrong – we had a lot to announce this year – including MuleSoft CloudHub 2.0, which we announced at this year’s CONNECT conference. If you were looking for a simplified experience to deploy and run MuleSoft applications in the cloud, look no further than CloudHub 2.0.

7. Announcing MuleSoft RPA: Automate Repetitive Processes for Every Team
Not only was automation a hot topic, so was robotic process automation (RPA) – and when we say hot, we mean it! Our launch announcement of MuleSoft RPA at CONNECT was a huge buzz. What’s not to be excited about? End-to-end business automation through RPA capabilities makes MuleSoft the ONLY unified platform for integration, APIs, and automation. Pretty buzzworthy.
