• Fixed Width• Flat File

- Define schemas with YAML based syntax

- Support for fixed width • COBOL Copybook (Early

DNS round robin load balancing

7

• Mule resolves all IP addresses

• Connections are distributed across all IPs

• If a connection error occurs for one IP, the next one will be tried transparently

• This allows for load balancing across the addresses returned for the host address.

Adoption at scale APIs & experiences Platform agility

Enabling Mule adoption at scale

30% fewer components, easier to learn & maintain apps

Manage configurations at runtime, not design time

Adopt new platform capabilities faster without changing applications

Easier to use

Manage at scale

Smooth upgrades

Simplified Core Runtime

12

• 30% smaller core message processor footprint

• Easier to use core connectors • Improved configuration

language consistency • Strongly typed errors • Unified DataWeave and Mule

Safer, easier upgrades

13

• Classpath isolation prevents internal library changes from affecting users applications

• No more need to repackage applications when upgrading across minor versions of Mule.

• Well defined Mule API to extend which has guaranteed compatibility across versions.

• Connectors will be distributed outside the runtime, making it easier to upgrade the runtime or to a connector with new functionality.

• Single way to extend Mule- Annotation based- Documentation generation

• Many improvements over current DevKit:- Transactions- Stateful operations- No more code generation- Improved retry logic

Configuration Management

16

• Configure connectors at runtime

• Share configs across apps

• Rotate passwords in one place

• Securely store credentials in central location

• No need to build best practices into dev lifecycle
