ICYMI: In any integration project, caching is a crucial part of the design. Certain data are very unlikely to change for a period of time. In those situations, we do not want to retrieve the data everytime from a data source, such as a database, file, etc.
Mule Anypoint Platform provides two key caching mechanisms. One is context registry, which basically is a Java HashMap inside the MuleContext object. We can use the registry to store and retrieve data. The other is cache scape, which stays inside a flow or sub-flow. When the system hits the component, it checks its cache. If it has the key, it will return the value. Otherwise, it will invoke the cache scope, which typically will retrieve data from data sources. For more details about the cache component, please refer to Mule documentation here. https://goo.gl/g3bja3 #DataIntegration #ML
