Explanation

CloudHub object store should be in same region where the Mule application is deployed. This will give optimal performance.

Before learning about Cache scope and object store in Mule 4 we understand what is in general Caching is and other related things.

WHAT DOES “CACHING” MEAN?

Caching is the process of storing frequently used data in memory, file system or database which saves processing time and load if it would have to be accessed from original source location every time.

In computing, a cache is a high-speed data storage layer which stores a subset of data, so that future requests for that data are served up faster than is possible by accessing the data’s primary storage location. Caching allows you to efficiently reuse previously retrieved or computed data.

How does Caching work?

The data in a cache is generally stored in fast access hardware such as RAM (Random-access memory) and may also be used in correlation with a software component. A cache’s primary purpose is to increase data retrieval performance by reducing the need to access the underlying slower storage layer.

Caching in MULE 4

In Mule 4 caching can be achieved in mule using cache scope and/or object-store. Cache scope internally uses Object Store to store the data.

What is Object Store

Object Store lets applications store data and states across batch processes, Mule components, and applications, from within an application. If used on cloud hub, the object store is shared between applications deployed on Cluster.

Cache Scope is used in below-mentioned cases:

● Need to store the whole response from the outbound processor

● Data returned from the outbound processor does not change very frequently

● As Cache scope internally handle the cache hit and cache miss scenarios it is more readable

Object Store is used in below-mentioned cases:

● Need to store custom/intermediary data

● To store watermarks

● Sharing the data/stage across applications, schedulers, batch.

If CloudHub object store is in same region where the Mule application is deployed it will aid in fast access of data and give optimal performance.

Explanation

Correct answer is Mule correlation ID By design, Correlation Ids cannot be changed within a flow in Mule 4 applications and can be set only at source. This ID is part of the Event Context and is generated as soon as the message is received by the application. When a HTTP Request is received, the request is inspected for "X-Correlation-Id" header. If "X-Correlation-Id" header is present, HTTP connector uses this as the Correlation Id. If "X-Correlation-Id" header is NOT present, a Correlation Id is randomly generated. For Incoming HTTP Requests: In order to set a custom Correlation Id, the client invoking the HTTP request must set "X-Correlation-Id" header. This will ensure that the Mule Flow uses this Correlation Id. For Outgoing HTTP Requests: You can also propagate the existing Correlation Id to downstream APIs. By default, all outgoing HTTP Requests send "X-Correlation-Id" header. However, you can choose to set a different value to "X-Correlation-Id" header or set "Send Correlation Id" to NEVER.

Explanation

Object Store Connector is a Mule component that allows for simple key-value storage. Although it can serve a wide variety of use cases, it is mainly design for: - Storing synchronization information, such as watermarks. - Storing temporal information such as access tokens. - Storing user information. Additionally, Mule Runtime uses Object Stores to support some of its own components, for example: - The Cache module uses an Object Store to maintain all of the cached data. - The OAuth module (and every OAuth enabled connector) uses Object Stores to store the access and refresh tokens. Object Store data is in the same region as the worker where the app is initially deployed. For example, if you deploy to the Singapore region, the object store persists in the Singapore region. MuleSoft Reference : https://docs.mulesoft.com/object-store-connector/1.1/ Data can be shared between different instances of the Mule application. This is not recommended for Inter Mule app communication. Coming to the question, object store cannot be used to share cached data if it is deployed as separate Mule applications or deployed under separate Business Groups. Hence correct answer is When there is one CloudHub deployment of the API implementation to three workers that must share the cache state.

Explanation

* Resilience testing is a type of software testing that observes how applications act under stress. It's meant to ensure the product's ability to perform in chaotic conditions without a loss of core functions or data; it ensures a quick recovery after unforeseen, uncontrollable events.

* In case an API invocation fails — even after a certain number of retries — it might be adequate to invoke a different API as a fallback. A fallback API, by definition, will never be ideal for the purpose of the API client, otherwise it would be the primary API.

* Here are some examples for fallback APIs:

- An old, deprecated version of the same API.

- An alternative endpoint of the same API and version (e.g. API in another CloudHub region).

- An API doing more than required, and therefore not as performant as the primary API.

- An API doing less than required and therefore forcing the API Client to offer a degraded service, which is still better than no service at all.

* API clients implemented as Mule applications offer the ‘Until Successful Scope and Exception’ strategies at their disposal, which together allow configuring fallback actions such as a fallback API invocation.

* All HTTP response status codes within the 3xx category are considered redirection messages. These codes indicate to the user agent (i.e. your web browser) that an additional action is required in order to complete the request and access the desired resource

Hence correct answer is Redirect client requests through an HTTP 303 temporary redirect status code to the fallback API whenever the Order API is unavailable

Explanation

Correct approach is to use Mixed configuration of asynchronous or synchronous loggers shoud be used to log exceptions via synchronous way Asynchronous logging poses a performance-reliability trade-off. You may lose some messages if Mule crashes before the logging buffers flush to the disk. In this case, consider that you can have a mixed configuration of asynchronous or synchronous loggers in your app. Best practice is to use asynchronous logging over synchronous with a minimum logging level of WARN for a production application. In some cases, enable INFO logging level when you need to confirm events such as successful policy installation or to perform troubleshooting. Configure your logging strategy by editing your application’s src/main/resources/log4j2.xml file

Explanation

As the question says that data needs to be sent across multiple sftp serves , we cannot use non-repeatable streams. The non-repeatable strategy disables repeatable streams, which enables you to read an input stream only once.

You cant use in memory storage because with 0.2 vcore you will get only 1 GB of heap memory. Hence application will error out for file more than 1 GB.

Hence the correct option is file base repeatable stream

Explanation

3xx HTTP status codes indicate a redirection that the user agent (a web browser or a crawler) needs to take further action when trying to access a particular resource.
