Data transformation is an inevitable component of connectivity, as most systems don’t speak the same language. Even when the format is similar, as when two RESTful Web APIs exchange JSON payloads, their message structure typically differs, making translation a necessity. In this the first of a four-part series: Getting started with DataWeave Part 2 Getting started with DataWeave […]
The idea of this post is to clarify some concepts around metadata, what is it, where is stored, how to use it and how it help us to develop our applications. So, what is it?Metadata is a term used in many places in the Software industry and its meaning may vary depending on what it’s used […]
Tired of googling and reading about OData without having a chance to play with it? Get happy then, this post is for those pragmatics like me that enjoy learning by doing rather than dealing with theory. If you enjoy the trial and error process, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. What is […]
Part 2: Building a Data Query Application In a previous blog, we talked through how you might design a solution to deliver a Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern with Anypoint Platform. In this blog, we’ll discuss how an API-led connectivity approach can help you deliver this pattern (and the mobile application your business is […]
We use automated build systems not only because they make our lives easier by taking care of building our apps, but because they can run our automated tests and deploy what we build to the target platform. One of our options for building applications (especially Mule applications) is Gradle. The Gradle plugin for Mule apps […]
In this post we’re going to continue the discussion started our last post “A sneak peek into Mule 3.7’s deepest internals” about how Mule’s registry, lifecycle and dependency injection mechanism are being overhauled in Mule 3.7. In this case, we’re going to take a deep dive into how we managed to unify the registries while […]
Mule 3.7 is approaching, and among other things we decided to put a lot of focus on the experience of the guy coding custom components (Devkit based or not). For this, the first 3.7 milestone is incorporating big changes in terms of the how Mule Lifecycle and Dependency Injection are applied. As I said, these changes […]

For organizations with investments in .NET, we are thrilled to add to the list the 2.0 release of our .NET Connector. The enhanced .NET Connector enables .NET developers to use familiar languages and tools when building integration applications with […]
In spite of JSON’s reign as the king of API data format, XML still remains the exchange data format of choice for a number of systems. Any service exposing functionality through SOAP, and many application built years ago (or even nowadays) still depend on XML to share data – to such an extent that in […]

Nobody wants to pay for it, but when something goes wrong everyone wants the best available” – Pablo Kraan The phrase above fully explains why logs are important and why we need to be able to log as much information as possible without impacting performance. Because logging usually implies an I/O […]
