MuleSoft is an enterprise integration platform founded in 2006 by Ross Mason and Dave Rosenberg and headquartered in San Francisco. Its Anypoint Platform lets organizations connect applications, data, and devices across on-premises and cloud environments through APIs, building reusable "application networks" rather than brittle point-to-point integrations. The platform serves large enterprises standardizing how their systems talk to each other.
MuleSoft popularized API-led connectivity as the model for enterprise integration, positioning APIs as composable building blocks that business and IT teams could reuse across projects. It went public on the NYSE under the ticker MULE in 2017, then was acquired by Salesforce in 2018 for roughly $6.5 billion, becoming the integration backbone of Salesforce's broader platform. Under Salesforce, it has extended toward multi-agent governance — combining enterprise integration with the orchestration of AI agents built across systems.
I dug into MuleSoft for an episode because integration is the unglamorous layer everyone in GTM engineering eventually runs into — the plumbing decides what your agents can actually touch.
