Solace and MuleSoft: Enabling Integration Across the Modern Enterprise

In a world where real-time data, efficient operations and agility define success, businesses face growing demands to integrate systems more effectively and innovate at a faster pace. Mulesoft has actively addressed this challenge by adapting its API lifecycle management to support both REST and event APIs. With their recent announcement on the general availability of full lifecycle AsyncAPI support (including support for Solace) in Anypoint Platform, Mulesoft has validated event-driven architecture (EDA) as a key part of an integration strategy because customers are demanding it. This event-driven integration trend represents a new paradigm for designing integrations, one that analysts such as Gartner, Forrester, IDC and others continue to acknowledge as the market responds positively.

What this means is that Mulesoft has effectively added code generation to Anypoint Platform to make it easier to develop event-driven integrations using Solace.

Why is this important? Solace and MuleSoft now provide a powerful combination that enables businesses to achieve event-driven, agile operations without sacrificing reliability or scalability; meaning, they can tackle the hard use cases on an enterprise-grade level that others can’t. They can also drive an organization’s AI initiatives and provide the real-time data capabilities necessary to make AI successful, which opens up a new era of possibilities for automation and offerig more meaningful customer experiences. MuleSoft’s strength in API-led integration and Solace’s expertise in event-driven architecture together offer a powerful solution for real-time data-driven integration needs.

Why Solace and MuleSoft Work So Well Together

MuleSoft excels at API management, enabling the connection of data, applications, and devices via Anypoint Platform. Solace is a leader in enabling event-driven integration, as PubSub+ Platform enables real-time event streaming and distribution across environments and around the world.

Together, these solutions offer a way of integrating RESTful APIs with event-driven systems, empowering businesses to innovate faster.

Key Advantages of Solace + MuleSoft

Unified Management of APIs and Events

MuleSoft is now able to manage the lifecycle of both REST and Event APIs. This creates a simplified, all-in-one environment for managing and governing all forms of integrations.  Businesses benefit from a comprehensive toolset to build, manage, and scale both traditional API-based services and modern event-driven applications. Complementing MuleSoft’s API lifecycle governance capabilities, the Solace Event Portal offers full lifecycle governance for Events. Events defined on the Solace Event Portal can be transformed into Event APIs governed on the MuleSoft Anypoint platform.

Real-Time Responsiveness

PubSub+ Platform enables the creation of event meshes that distribute data in real-time across multiple geographies and systems. Whether it’s tracking financial transactions, managing inventory, or sending instant notifications, Solace ensures that critical data reaches the right destination at the right time, enabling rapid response and informed decision-making.

Scalability for Complex Environments

Both Solace and MuleSoft were designed to handle the demands of modern, enterprise-grade, high-velocity data environments. Their combined capabilities make it possible for organizations to scale seamlessly, ensuring reliable data flows across systems that are growing in complexity—whether in retail, IoT, financial services, or manufacturing.

Simplified Event-Driven Development

PubSub+ Platform, combined with MuleSoft’s intuitive API design and development tools, empowers developers to create event-driven applications in a simple way using AnyPoint Code Builder.   This simplified approach accelerates innovation while ensuring high reliability and ease of deployment.

Edge-to-Enterprise Connectivity

Solace’s event mesh capabilities enables businesses to efficiently connect edge devices with core enterprise systems. Whether you’re working with IoT devices or datacenters, PubSub+ ensures continuous, secure, and synchronized data flows from the edge to the heart of your organization.

Get on Board or Get Left Behind

With customer demand high for better event-driven capabilities, Mulesoft and other integration leaders are fully embracing event-driven integration with impactful results. Solace is successfully using its new integration with Mulesoft at many large enterprises who want to accelerate their business processes, ease integration challenges, enable real-time data and power new AI Initiatives.

The bottom line? Integrating systems in an event-driven manner requires new tooling as most existing integration tools are focused on synchronous interactions. Solace and Mulesoft now offer a great solution for businesses looking to adopt a new and better approach to integration by modernizing their architecture with event-driven, real-time capabilities. Solace’s event streaming technology coupled with MuleSoft’s robust integration capabilities can unlock new possibilities for innovation, scalability, and performance and allow customers to take full advantage of the benefits of becoming event-driven to remain competitive.
