By consolidating API traffic through a centralized gateway, organizations can simplify their infrastructure and reduce the complexity of managing multiple API endpoints. The gateway also enables organizations to implement various traffic management policies, such as routing rules, content-based routing, or load balancing, to optimize API performance and ensure high availability.
Runtime Policies
MuleSoft’s Universal API Management platform provides a wide range of runtime policies that organizations can apply to APIs. These policies allow organizations to enforce specific behaviors or rules during runtime, ensuring consistent and reliable API performance.
For example, organizations can configure policies for request and response transformation, allowing them to modify the structure or format of API data as it passes through the gateway. This enables seamless integration between different systems and ensures compatibility between API consumers and providers.
