How many global executors are available for task execution in Mule 4 runtime?

In Mule 4 runtime, there are three global executors available for task execution. These executors are designed to manage different types of asynchronous processing and task execution based on various operational needs.

The reason for having three global executors is to offer flexibility and optimize the performance for different scenarios. Each executor has distinct characteristics suitable for handling specific workloads. For instance, one might be used for CPU-bound tasks, which involve heavy processing, while another could be designed for IO-bound tasks that often require waiting for external resources, such as databases or web services. This division allows for better resource management and efficiency in executing Mule applications or flows concurrently without overwhelming the system.

The architecture of Mule 4 effectively utilizes these executors to ensure that different parts of applications perform optimally, enhancing overall performance and responsiveness.
