Where is data saved when deploying a Mule application to Customer-hosted runtime?

When deploying a Mule application to a Customer-hosted runtime, the data is saved utilizing the OSv2 REST API. This API provides a way for applications to interact with and persist data outside of the application’s local environment, ensuring that data can be managed efficiently regardless of the infrastructure setup.

The OSv2 REST API is particularly relevant because it allows Mule applications to leverage various backend services or databases regardless of where the application itself is running. This capability supports a broader range of deployment scenarios and enhances the ability to manage state or share data across distributed systems. In environments where data persistence and accessibility across multiple instances are required, leveraging the OSv2 REST API becomes essential.

The other choices do not fully encapsulate the capabilities and functions utilized when dealing with data persistence in a customer-hosted runtime. Options that suggest data is saved exclusively in cloud storage or the local filesystem would limit the flexibility and scalability that the OSv2 REST API provides. Moreover, shared distributed memory through OSv2 implies a level of direct memory management that does not align with the abstraction layer and operational model that MuleSoft promotes, particularly when it comes to handling data across multiple deployments or environments.
