As companies build up their network of APIs, it becomes increasingly complex to serve the data needed for each project. Each project needs data in slightly different ways and likely from several APIs at a time. The goal is to reuse multiple APIs at once — get data across multiple APIs simultaneously, with just one request and no custom work.
Last year, IT teams were flooded with additional project requests because of the pandemic's digital needs. According to a report, only 37% of IT teams were able to complete all the projects asked. With this increased amount of work and the need to speed up the delivery, IT teams need to work faster.
Integration Challenges Hinder Digital Innovation
Every customer expects a seamless digital experience from anywhere. To quickly deliver new services like the digital wealth management platform, MuleSoft connects legacy systems and automates complex business processes. By leveraging reusable building blocks like APIs, employee productivity increases and accelerates time to value, making it more efficient.
MuleSoft, the world’s #1 integration and API platform provider, revealed the next most important release of Anypoint Platform with DataGraph, which is the new feature added in this month’s release. With the new feature, developers can instantly discover, access, and serve data from several existing APIs with a single query without any additional code. The new Anypoint DataGraph lets customers across industries deliver seamless digital experiences faster and build composable business capabilities.
MuleSoft releases cumulative Mule patches regularly, typically once per month. The patch version specifies a Mule version and a patch identifier. Unlike the Mule upgrade process, which is for upgrading from Mule 4.x to 4.y (such as 4.1 to 4.2) or Mule 4.x.y to 4.x.z (such as 4.1.5 to 4.1.6), the cumulative patching process applies the latest fixes to a specific 4.x.y version of Mule (such as 4.1.5). Installing a patch to the wrong Mule version can lead to instabilities and result in difficult debugging issues.
