For this second meetup, we’ve prepared a lineup of topics around best practices of detecting and resolving issues with MuleSoft Monitoring, deep dive into logging, and key lessons on establishing an API delivery practice. The presentations will be followed by networking over pizza & beer.
The Manchester MuleSoft Meetup aims to educate, challenge and provide thought-provoking talks on MuleSoft’s API-led approach to integration and how it’s being used by organisations to transform their business. You can expect tech deep-dives from experienced Mule developers, presentations from end-users, discussing their challenges and successes, and architectural talks about different approaches to integration.
Our goal is to build a vibrant and self-sustaining Mule developer community in the region, foster engagement, evangelise and promote success based on real-world MuleSoft delivery experiences.
Please make sure to register and secure your ticket (RSVP) since the venue has a limited capacity.

Over the last 25 years, Dave has worked in a variety of IT roles, from delivering to product management. Many of these have involved integration, which now became his main focus as a Solution Engineer at MuleSoft. Connecting applications and figuring out how to share data has always interested Dave and now it seems even more important than ever.
I have completed the MCD - API Design Associate (RAML 1.0) and MCD - Integration and API Associate (Mule 3.9) accreditations having been on several of the Mulesoft training courses, attended Mulesoft Summits and working with Mulesoft software and applications for two years.
I'm an IT professional and you'll find me geeking out in the evenings at meetups in Leeds, Manchester and other places around West Yorkshire such as Agile in Yorkshire, Leeds DevOps, ExpertTalks, Yorkshire Powershell, CodeUp Leeds, etc.
Technologies and Tools that I would recommend for Mulesoft include;
Understanding JSON and JSON schema validation
Regular Expressions for String Validation
Using the Eclipse Development Environment and some understanding of the Java Stack
An understanding of Maven and GIT for version control, building of projects and handling code dependencies
Writing of Service contracts using RAML and or familiarity with other standards such as OpenAPI (OAS and Swagger)
Using tools such as GitHub, Postman or Advanced REST Client, Notepad++ with plugins for XML and JSON handling, Anypoint Studio for development
Understanding of OS level tools such as ftp, sftp, netcat, telnet, SSH. samba and JMS queues for handling endpoint reading and writing
