This post is all about developing Connectors and deploying apps to Mule iON, but rather than just using words I created a screencast that demonstrates how to use Cloud connectors and Mule Flow to build applications that can be run on Mule or Mule iON.

Cloud Connectors provide simple and reusable integration with Social Media APIs (like Facebook and Twitter) and Cloud platforms (for example Amazon Web Services). You have many options: browse our existing Cloud Connectors, create new ones yourself and share them with our growing community (and take credit for it!), or turn your existing public API client into a reusable Cloud Connector. In this particular example, I will use GeoNames API and Google Maps.

I’m pleased to announce the release of a new Cloud Connector for Twilio. If you don’t know what is, you should definitely check it out!

What is Twilio?

Let me give you a brief introduction to Twilio. In short, Twilio provides a API for voice and SMS communications that leverages existing web development skills, resources and skills. Twilio offers a pay as you go, affordable no contract plan for your business to make and receive calls and SMS messages. They use your existing web development skills, resources and infrastructure to improve on your marketing campaigns.

We live in a world where the slow one is left behind. You company must adapt to the ever changing and complex world of technology integration. We live in a world where it is no longer acceptable to take months to integrate new services. So today’s post is about speed. I will show how you can build a Connector for Mule in five easy steps. The same cloud connector that you will be able to use on Mule standalone or Mule iON to integrate into your company. Ready?

The new MuleForge works with different project hosting platforms, it  is now a repository of all things Mule rather than a project hosting service. I recently migrated the Maven Mule Plugin from our old infrastructure to GitHub. This was quite a journey and I had to trawl the web quite a bit to gather all the required steps to make the change. So here’s the full story, in case anyone wants to do the same.

Migrating from SVN to git

The very first thing I did was to migrate the source. There are plenty of (differing) tutorials out there but the “Migrating to Git” chapter in the Pro Git book got me started quite nicely.

Integrate your SalesForce data with Mule

1

SalesforceSalesForce.com has been a pioneer in the software as service(SaaS) space. By offering a reliable and highly flexible interface they have grown to a company with revenues of over a billion dollars a year. Currently today many companies store their system of record in or at the very least use it for management of all customer accounts and opportunities. With such valuable information it isn’t any surprise that the need to integrate .com with other systems in the enterprise is highly desirable. In this post I will take you though the use of Mule with .

First, lets get things setup, the best place to find the needed connectors for Mule is by searching the MuleForge. There we can find information about the SalesForce connector which is located here.

Millions of online transactions occur every day in the purchasing of goods and services. With each transaction a number of systems are involved. First some form of payment must be processed. Next the customer information is captured which must end up in a CRM system. Then the order for goods must be fulfilled by notifying the fulfillment system or by alerting a specific department to the order. Each step in the process is normally handled by a separate system with its own set of APIs and data model. This type of integration is something that Mule eats up!

Migrating MuleForge projects to 3.0

2

In order to make sure that the path is straightforward and well-documented, I just finished migrating the SFTP project from Mule ESB 2.2.1 to 3.0.  It was extremely helpful to have a good set of unit tests in the SFTP transport code.  That makes it easier to tell if your project still has all of the necessary functionality after the migration.  If you are interested in migrating your own MuleForge project, check out the following links:
