Dreamforce 18 MuleSoft integration keynote: My takeaways

I attended the MuleSoft Integration Keynote speech yesterday for Dreamforce 18 in San Francisco. Salesforce acquired MuleSoft earlier this year for $6.5B, their largest acquisition to date.

Naturally, I wanted to learn more. Here were the speakers (in order of appearance):

  • Greg Schott, MuleSoft CEO
