Replace CloudHub with Kubernetes and Docker

CloudHub is MuleSoft's proprietary deployment platform, priced per vCore. Kubernetes gives you the same orchestration capabilities with no licensing fees and no vendor lock-in.

Kubernetes + Docker

Industry-standard container orchestration. Auto-scaling, rolling deployments, health checks, service discovery — all built in. Run on AWS EKS, Azure AKS, GCP GKE, or your own hardware.

Advantages over CloudHub

✕ Per-vCore pricing — scaling costs grow linearly
✓ Open-source orchestration — scaling costs are just compute
✕ CloudHub runs only Mule apps
✓ Kubernetes runs everything — APIs, frontends, databases, ML models
✕ Vendor-managed platform you don't control
✓ Infrastructure as code — version, audit, and reproduce your entire stack
✕ Limited to Anypoint-managed regions
✓ Deploy to any cloud, any region, any provider

Why Kubernetes wins

Deploy anywhere

AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem, hybrid — Kubernetes runs everywhere. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary deployment targets.

Auto-scaling that doesn't cost extra

Kubernetes scales pods based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics. No calling your MuleSoft rep to buy more vCores.

One platform for everything

Run your Camel integrations alongside your APIs, microservices, and databases. One orchestration platform for your entire stack.

Infrastructure as code

Helm charts, Kustomize, GitOps with ArgoCD — manage your deployment configuration in version control, not a proprietary dashboard.

Stop renting your deployment platform.

We'll containerize your integrations and deploy them on infrastructure you control.
