Business Case
Reasons for Change
• Current MuleSoft infrastructure in Datacentre needed to be retired.
• Capacity issues with the on-Premise MuleSoft implementation can be addressed also.
• Reduction in operating costs if the MuleSoft CloudHub option is taken, the cost of licencing is inclusive
of maintenance, MuleSoft upgrades and compute costs in AWS for MuleSoft workloads.
• Increased reliability by leveraging the enhanced reporting and monitoring of the MuleSoft Control
Plane.

Business Case
Options
• Option 1 – MuleSoft CloudHub – Run as a service by MuleSoft
• Option 2 – UON AWS hosted MuleSoft – Run and Managed by/in University of Newcastle VPC
• Option 3 – No Change – Run by University of Newcastle On Premise

3. System Layers – Cloud Source
4. System Layers – DB Source
5. Process Layers
6. Experience Layers

Challenges faced along the way
The Migration
● Time constraints, needed additional staff – supplied by Capgemini
○ No Onboarding material, lack of lead time led to slow start
● Infrastructure was being built while Mule migration was happening
○ Downstream and upstream systems were migrated at independent times.
● Networking / Routing: ( thank goodness for the network testing tool )
● Missed architectural elements
○ File Server / SFTP / S3 Bucket
● Redevelopment of deployment pipeline ( This was also in the datacenter )
10

CloudHub Migration - Execution
● Plan vs Reality
● 4 months vs 10 months
● 43 Apps vs 79 Apps
● Mule vs Mule + Datacentre
11

What we built with Anypoint Platform
Visualization of the Newcastle University Mobile application

Benefits UON gained as a result
• Resulted in moving all the MuleSoft workloads out of the UON Datacentre.
• The licencing for CloudHub covers the AWS compute costs that the MuleSoft workloads will be hosted
in, leading to a significant cost saving.
• UON receives continuous software updates, this eliminates the effort to upgrade the MuleSoft
versions by UON staff.
• The CloudHub dashboard and reporting interface gives and enhanced set of reporting and metrics to
allow for greater insights into the performance and utilization of the MuleSoft environment.
• Allows for a highly scalable platform using dynamically configured EC2 engines to host MuleSoft
containers.

LESSONS LEARNED
What could be improved?
What went well?
Learning Area Learning Recommendation
MuleSoft CloudHub
AnyPoint Platform
Cloud benefits also including the visualisation in cloud hub, monitoring
improvements, increase in issue tickets due to the volume of
integrations, however the clean-up was anticipated.
Better performance was achieved, with improved capacity being able
to stand up to larger demand
Ensure regular review of performance continues
as redevelopment work completes.
Continue to enhance AnyPoint monitoring
dashboard
Agile Project Methodology
Sprint ceremonies and task management board usage (Azure DevOps
Kanban Board) implementation was valuable for regular unblocking of
issues.
Sprint Kanban meeting PDF summary was useful as a one-page
summary.
Continue to utilise the task management board,
as well as the regular short catch ups to ensure
momentum, transparency and for early
recognition of issues.
Learning Area Learning Recommendation
Wider Stakeholder
Communication
Wider team were not consulted on when the team were going to move
to the cloud. Communication should have been made during the
IPaaS CloudHub set up and some set.
Either a stakeholder working party and / or
communication channels should have been
established at the start of the project, rather than
mid project. Ensure this task is prioritised.
Governance Structure and
associated capability uplift
Centre For Enablement (C4E) could have been set up at the beginning
of the project, to ensure compliance to best practice, sharing of code
and adoption.
Engagement of C4E for capability uplift and
governance to be completed at the start of the
project.
