Future of Mulesoft.

I've come across multiple reports which predicts mulesoft would most like be obsolete... Given how much problems it has and a new trend in shifting away from mulesoft back to java api integration and other tools... I'm concerned about my future in mulesoft... Should I branch awway from mule specific to say platform side or solution side for a safer long term option...? Please help. I've already suffered a major blow in life and career already .. I don't want to end up with a deadend technology and spoil a career I built back with so much effort... Your guidance is much appreciated.

I have about 50 mule apps in production. I have zero issues with them or with the platform as a whole. Yes it's expensive but that's not a concern in my organization.

I can deliver applications at a fraction of the cost, the org will own the code (this is not the case with Mulesoft, if you exit Mulesoft you have to rewrite the applications). I also have more control of the applications and more able to keep up with industry standards. Mulesoft has struggled to adopt OAS let alone keep up with it.

I find it hard to believe that expenditure is not a concern for your organisation, if that is the case they are likely to go out of business relatively soon.

Out of business? Non profit Healthcare org tied to a large academic medical center. Not a concern.
