Orchestration: Composing several existing fine-grained components into a single higher-order composite service This can be done to achieve the appropriate “granularity” of
services and sequence of data transfers, and promote reuse and manageability of the underlying components.
Transformation: Data transformation between specific data formats is required. An example would be transforming between CSV, XML, and JSON.
Transportation: transport protocol negotiation between multiple formats (such as HTTP, JMS, and JDBC).
Mediation: Providing multiple interfaces to the same component allows for multiple channels or backward compatibility.
Non-functional consistency includes security, error handling, monitoring policies, etc.
In conclusion, MuleSoft offers numerous solutions to help businesses overcome integration challenges and transform themselves into an efficient new enterprise in which countless disparate systems and applications can seamlessly communicate. Typical ETL tools are limited in their ability to serve the requirements of the new enterprise, but an enterprise service bus can provide real-time, high-performance, scalable operation capabilities.
