    EchoRelay

    N/AN/AEchoRelay is a managed runtime for custom API integrations. Teams that maintain their own adapters carry the cost of every change at the other end. A vendor renames a field and someone edits adapter code, deploys it, and hopes nothing else moved. A credential rotates and the adapter breaks until somebody notices. EchoRelay moves that work out of application code. An integration is described once as configuration: what comes in, the target system, its credentials,…

    Additional DetailsThree ways to pay, and you can move between them. Start free with no card. Buy credits when you need them, with no subscription. Or subscribe for a monthly allowance and a lower rate on anything above it. One request fans out to its targets, and each delivery is charged separately, so cost follows how many systems a request actually reaches. Deliveries that fail on our side are not charged. Nothing is priced per seat, and every plan includes the full REST API, the MCP server and the web panel. Current plans, add-ons, credit packs and the full comparison are on the pricing page linked above. Prices exclude VAT; applicable taxes are calculated at checkout.—

    If you’re bringing anything into Salesforce you should just invest now into Mule, you will get your money’s worth and find a myriad of uses to build APIs between many other systems. Once you build a component you can easily reuse it as a building block to attach to another source/destination. This makes it easy to ramp up quickly and spread usage of Mule throughout your enterprise. A good value for medium to large companies, but probably cheaper to outsource your job to a consulting firm if you are smaller.

    Salesforce
    • It is best suited for Rest API development. Mule ESB uses RAML as an API descriptor which is less complex and easy to understand. RAML is an open standard majorly supported by Mulesoft. Once RAML is developed, it is very easy (a few clicks)to create flows corresponding to the resources defined in the RAML. One can also include JSON schema validation in RAML, and with the use of APIkit router, Mule ESB makes the request validation very easy (it's automatic basically.)
    • Mule ESB comes with a large spectrum of community and enterprise connectors. We have connectors for all the major platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Salesforce, SAP, etc. This enables Mule ESB to integrate with the other systems in a faster and more robust way. Mule ESB has many components to fulfill the requirements of each integration (for example batch processing, parallel processing, choice, etc.)
    • Mule API gateway is one of the best tools (modules) of Mulesoft's offering. It supports API governance and management very well. One can easily enforce policies on their APIs with API gateway. It enables some of the must-have features in an API solution (i.e. throttling, oAuth, access levels, etc.)
    • Implementing a CI/CD (DevOps) environment for Mule ESB is a very easy task. Mule majorly uses MAVEN as its build tool, which in turn makes it best suitable for CI/CD approach. Mule also provides MAVEN plugins for auto deployments to the servers. Mule also has a best Unit testing module which is MUnit. MUnit can be used for both Unit and Functional testing, and it is easy to write and generates coverage reports in various formats.

    • Make sure to not over-engineer shared components. It can complicate development
    • Create a roadmap for where you are going - if not, you may miss components
    • I suggest getting support, otherwise it could be a difficult learning curve

    It doesn't have API . We have to go for another API manager. But in Mule, it has both API manager and ESB

    ScreenShots

    EchoRelay Screenshots

    Screenshot of One address in. Many systems out, each shaped by a configuration you can preview, publish and roll back. Deploy nothing.Screenshot of Lines are versions of the API, v1 and v2, each with its own base URL. Build the next one beside the version that is serving traffic, then activate it when it is ready.Screenshot of Set the target, how it authenticates, and whether it gets queued delivery, synchronous delivery or streaming. Anything still undelivered lands in failed deliveries.Screenshot of A mapping is a tree of typed nodes. Edit it as JSON or build it visually. Both read back the same thing, so what an agent writes opens in the builder unchanged.Screenshot of Filter by request id, method, status or path. Open a row to see what each target answered.Screenshot of Deliveries that ran out of attempts wait here with the reason and the payload. Replay one, or all of them.
