MuleSoft Performance and the Choke in the Wire

Hello from MuleSoft’s performance team!
This post describes a real-world tuning example in which we worked with a customer to optimize their Mule ESB application.
A customer presented us with an application that was to be a proxy to several endpoints. As such, it needed to be very lightweight since the endpoints introduced their own latency. We required the application to provide high throughput and minimal latency.
This real-world example shows how we helped the customer tune their application from a number of angles.
