[Anypoint platform](https://www.mulesoft.com/integration-resources) (formerly known as Mule or Mule ESB) is an Enterprise Integration Platform written in Java.
|
|
|
|
Anypoint provides tools to use Enterprise Integration Patterns (EAI) and has a high number of ready-to-use connectors to communicate with software tools such as SAP, Salesforce, etc.
|
|
|
|
Anypoint Community Version is Open Source and contribution is possible.
|
|
The platform is pluggable with own connectors.
|
|
Mulesoft is also driving the [RAML](/languages-and-frameworks/raml/) specification and related Open Source tools.
|
|
|
|
AOE is a Mulesoft Partner and we use both the Community and Enterprise Versions of Anypoint.
|
|
We use Anypoint as an API Gateway to combine and transform data from multiple backends.
|
|
We use it as ESB or Integration platform for loose coupling of software components.
|
|
We also use it as legacy modernization to provide modern APIs for legacy or external software.
