MuleSoft, Inc. is a software company headquartered in San Francisco, California, that provides integration software for connecting applications, data and devices. MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform is the world’s leading integration platform for SOA, SaaS and APIs. MuleSoft provides exceptional business agility to companies by connecting applications, data and devices, both on premises and in the cloud with an API-led approach. By leveraging Anypoint Platform, companies can re-architect their SOA infrastructure from legacy systems, proprietary platforms, and custom integration code to create business agility. They can migrate technology infrastructure to the public or private cloud and prioritize adoption of SaaS applications and other cloud technologies.
MuleSoft wanted to build a platform that would provide its customers — large enterprises and organizations often with stringent security requirements — with deep visibility into APIs and integrations. On average, a business supporting digital transactions now crosses 35 backend systems, and legacy tools haven’t been able to keep up. The growing complexity of enterprise systems poses observability challenges as well as business system performance risks.
MuleSoft uses InfluxDB Cloud to power its monitoring and diagnostic solutions as well as provide end-to-end actionable visibility to APIs and integrations to help customers identify and resolve issues quickly. MuleSoft built Anypoint Platform™ using InfluxData as its core data infrastructure. The business planning between InfluxData and MuleSoft teams involved not only the technology and visibility that InfluxDB can provide but also the use of InfluxData technology to create business impact for MuleSoft.

“We didn’t have a great way to figure out and quickly diagnose what endpoint was driving that problem… That’s how we started thinking about monitoring APIs. And that’s what led us down this journey with InfluxData.”
