What We Deliver

API Development & Management — Full Scope

Every aspect of the API lifecycle — specification, development, testing, deployment, gateway configuration, Exchange publishing, and analytics.

RAML API Specification

RAML-first API design covering all endpoints, HTTP methods, request/response schemas, error codes, data types, and security schemes — reviewed before development begins, published to Anypoint Exchange.

  • Resource and method definition
  • JSON/XML schema and data type design

How We Work

Our API Development & Management Process

A structured delivery methodology that minimises risk and ensures measurable progress at every stage of your MuleSoft engagement.

01

API Requirements Discovery

We document the API consumer requirements — what data they need, in what format, at what frequency, with what security — before writing a single line of RAML or Mule code.

02

RAML Specification Writing

We write the complete RAML API specification and publish to Anypoint Exchange for stakeholder review before development begins.

03

Mule Application Development

APIs developed in 2-week sprints — Mule flows built, DataWeave transformations written, MUnit tests coded alongside, and peer-reviewed against our API standards checklist.

04

API Gateway Configuration

API Manager policies applied and API deployed to Anypoint Platform with correct environment promotion from dev through test to production.

05

Testing & Performance Validation

Functional, edge case, security, and performance testing — with load testing against production volumes before any API is approved for production deployment.

06

Documentation & Consumer Onboarding

API consumer guide, Postman collection, authentication setup guide, and usage examples published to Anypoint Exchange.

Why Rackwave

Rated 4.9★ across Clutch, Google, and Trustpilot for MuleSoft delivery quality and client outcomes.

"Rackwave designed our entire MuleSoft API-led architecture from scratch. The consulting engagement was thorough — they understood our systems better than our own team after two weeks of discovery. Implementation followed the design exactly."

Ananya Mehta
Ananya Mehta
Director of Integration, FinTech Group

"We had a broken MuleSoft implementation from a previous partner. Rackwave assessed it, delivered a remediation roadmap in two weeks, and fixed everything in six weeks. Zero integration failures since go-live."

James Kimani

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about API Development & Management — answered directly.

  • What is RAML-first API development?

    RAML-first means writing the API specification — defining all endpoints, request/response schemas, error codes, and data types — before writing any implementation code. This enables parallel development (consumer and provider built simultaneously using mocks), ensures the API is designed for consumers rather than backend constraints, and provides living documentation from day one.

  • What is the difference between System, Process, and Experience APIs?

    System APIs expose raw data from backend systems (Salesforce, SAP, databases). Process APIs orchestrate multiple System APIs to implement business logic — an order management Process API might call Salesforce and SAP System APIs. Experience APIs deliver data in the format required by a specific consumer (mobile app, web portal, partner). This three-tier structure enables reusability — one Process API serving multiple Experience APIs with different formatting.

  • How do MuleSoft API gateway policies work?

    API Manager policies run at the gateway layer before requests reach your Mule application. Common policies: OAuth 2.0 token validation, rate limiting (calls per minute or hour), IP allowlisting (approved IP ranges only), and threat protection (blocking injection and malformed requests). Policies are applied through API Manager UI and enforced at runtime — no policy code needed inside Mule flows.

  • How do you manage API versioning on MuleSoft?

    We follow URI versioning — major version in the URL (v1, v2) — published as separate assets in Anypoint Exchange. When a new major version is released, the previous version remains active with a deprecation notice and a migration timeline communicated to API consumers. Minor, non-breaking changes are deployed in place without version increment. Each version is maintained in a separate Git branch with its own CI/CD pipeline.

  • What MUnit test coverage do you deliver?

    We deliver above 80% MUnit coverage on all APIs as a minimum, enforced in the CI/CD pipeline. Coverage includes: unit tests for individual flows and sub-flows, mock configuration for all external system calls (so tests run without connectivity to external systems), error scenario tests for all defined error responses, and integration tests validating the end-to-end API contract against the RAML specification.

  • How long does MuleSoft API development take?

    A simple System API exposing a single backend system typically takes 1 to 2 weeks per API. A Process API orchestrating 3 to 5 System APIs with complex business logic typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. An Experience API with complex data shaping typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. We deliver in 2-week sprints — meaning working APIs are available for consumer testing from sprint 2 onwards.

  • Do you publish APIs to Anypoint Exchange?

    Yes. Every API we build is published to Anypoint Exchange — including the RAML specification, usage documentation, example requests and responses, error code reference, authentication setup guide, and a Postman collection. Exchange publication makes APIs discoverable and self-service — consumers can find, understand, and connect to APIs without requiring our involvement.

  • Can you build MuleSoft APIs to connect to legacy systems?

    Yes. Connecting legacy systems without standard APIs is a common requirement. We use MuleSoft's connector library (database, SFTP, legacy, file) or build custom connectors using the Mule SDK for systems with proprietary protocols. The System API layer provides a clean, modern API interface over the legacy system — hiding its complexity from consuming Process and Experience APIs.

  • How do you secure MuleSoft APIs?

    API security is applied in layers: OAuth 2.0 client credentials for machine-to-machine APIs, JWT validation for user-context APIs, IP allowlisting for internal APIs, HTTPS/TLS for all traffic, rate limiting to protect backend systems, and secret management using Anypoint Secrets Manager or external vaults (HashiCorp, AWS Secrets Manager). Security policies are applied via API Manager — not hardcoded in Mule flows.

  • What is the difference between REST and SOAP APIs on MuleSoft?

    REST APIs use HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and JSON or XML payloads — the standard for modern integrations. SOAP APIs use XML envelopes and WSDL definitions — common in older enterprise systems (SAP BAPI, legacy ERP, banking). MuleSoft supports both. When connecting to a legacy SOAP system, we typically build a System API that consumes the SOAP service and exposes a clean REST interface — shielding consuming APIs from SOAP complexity.
