In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to connect a MySQL database running in Docker to a MuleSoft project in Anypoint Code Builder (ACB) — all inside VS Code, without ever leaving your IDE.
We’ll use three powerful VS Code extensions:
- Container Tools → run MySQL with a single click
- Database Client → create tables and test queries
- Postcode → test your API endpoints
By the end, you’ll have a Mule flow that returns live MySQL data in JSON.
