Very impressive! Annual Run Rate is different from ARR though. Annual Run Rate is probably just taking one (or a few) months, and extrapolate that to a year. Still great progress for having raised to little though.
> Annual Run Rate is different from ARR though What exactly does ARR mean if not Annual Run Rate?
For back-office environment with tons of point 2 point integrations, it just seems to make sense.
Business model is good. Once you're in, going out is really tough. This is exactly like the SFDC app cloud.
Makes me wonder if we will see a Zapier IPO soon. It's a crowded space, integration as a service, and in need of consolidation. Zapier doesn't have MuleSofts enterprise street cred because IMHO weak B2B marketing, but the infrastructure is there.
I think that MuleSoft is a really great business, although I wouldn't use it personally just due to not being in the right industry.

I'm in the right business and I still don't understand why I'd ever need this kind of software.

Whether this works out is entirely dependent on your org: it still requires competent people wiring up things -- much to management's chagrin -- but it can save a fair bit of time. Tradeoffs all around.
Mule basically started off with an ESB [8] that's a glorified reactor queue and a bunch of canned components of varying qualities that either implement an EIP primitive [9], or some domain-specific templated executor (make SQL calls, make API calls, etc). Now there's a whole ecosystem around it: a marketplace of components, an API proxy, management and monitoring layers, and fancy GUIs. The tools are (mostly) solid -- no more and no less than any other big-name commercial tool, but I'd venture to guess a lot of businesses buy this thinking it's going to be The Silver Bullet they're looking for, and it predictably rarely works that way.

Mulesoft, Zapier, Microsoft Flow, Automate.io, Tray.io, Integromat, Workato, PieSync, Dsync, OneSaas, Skyvia Defining "major" is hard, I think. You either select a few big providers for integrations, or you go long tail with hundreds. I think there won't be winner take all, as there are a lot of integration dollars to go around (enterprise, SMB, freelance/individual users, etc), and each integration system has their…
Few more: Dell Boomi, Segment.io, Pandium, Infomatica...
We are trying to place ourselves somewhere in between with market place for open source components supporting modern stacks like Python, R, Node.js etc.. We were wondering if that would unlock tremendous power to system integrators?
One year after their IPO? I don't get this. Why didn't they buy it last year paying a premium over the 17 USD a share of their public offering instead of paying a premium over the current 33 USD (or 40 USD I guess)? I don't understand the rationale behind these deals.
