Cut Millions in API Licensing Costs

Move beyond MuleSoft's per-core licensing and modernize your API platform with open-source Envoy Gateway and enterprise-grade IMESH Plugins.

The Case for Switching

Why teams leave MuleSoft

01

Per-core licensing

Anypoint runtime is licensed per vCore. Envoy Gateway removes the licensing line item entirely.

02

Heavyweight runtime

Mule's Java-based runtime carries more operational weight than Envoy's lightweight proxy.

03

Closed integration flows

IMESH plugins reproduce common Mule flow patterns — transformation, routing, and enrichment — on the gateway.

04

Platform lock-in

Anypoint Platform ties governance to MuleSoft tooling. Envoy Gateway keeps you on open standards.

How It Works

The migration path

1

Assess & inventory

Catalog Mule applications, API proxies, and connectors in scope for migration.

2

Map configuration

Translate integration flows and policies into Envoy Gateway routes and IMESH plugins.

3

Pilot & validate

Run parallel traffic to confirm behavior parity before full cutover.

4

Cutover & decommission

Shift production traffic to Envoy Gateway and retire Anypoint licensing.
