In my last blog post I showed a simple flow to retrieve an RSS feed periodically, split it and send each RSS entry via eMail.

The service framework in Mule has always existed for building integration solutions. The design is simple and highly scalable: 1) messages flow in on a channel to an inbound endpoint, 2) transformations and filters are applied (if necessary), 3) the service component processes the messages and, finally, 4) the outbound router sends them on their [...]

One of the enterprise integration patterns that Mule hasn’t explicitly supported up until now is the “Content Enricher”. Enrichment has of course been possible but it hasn’t been as easy as it should have been. That’s changing for Mule 3.1 as we introduce support for message enrichment.

On my previous post about Kanban, I presented the challenges we had in our Engineering team. They were: 1. Uncontrolled growth of Work In Progress. 2. Not Enough visibility. 3. Reduced quality. 4. Inability to properly estimate all tasks upfront. 5. Planned features and improvements are hard to manage and implement. During the implementation of [...]
