How does MuleSoft achieve API-led connectivity?

MuleSoft achieves API-led connectivity by enabling reusable APIs to serve as building blocks for integration. This approach allows organizations to create a network of APIs that can be leveraged across multiple applications and services, streamlining development and promoting collaboration among different teams.

With API-led connectivity, APIs are designed not just for one-off use but as reusable assets that encapsulate business capabilities, allowing for faster innovation and adaptability when responding to changing business requirements. This architecture encourages a modular approach, meaning developers can combine various APIs to build new applications or extend existing ones without duplicating effort, thus enhancing efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

By using a structured API hierarchy (system APIs, process APIs, and experience APIs), MuleSoft provides a clear framework that aligns with an organization's broader integration strategy, ensuring that integration is consistent, scalable, and easy to manage.
