MCPA-Level-1 Exam Dumps - MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect - Level 1

Correct Answer: Use an SLA-based rate limiting policy and assign a client application to a matching SLA tier based on its type.

*****************************************

>> SLA tiers will come into play whenever any limits to be imposed on APIs based on client type

Explanation

Correct Answer: Implement different system APIs named createCustomer, amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has seperation of concerns

*****************************************

>> It is quite normal to have a single API and different Verb + Resource combinations. However, this fits well for an Experience API or a Process API but not a best architecture style for System APIs. So, option with just one customerManagement API is not the best choice here.

>> The option with APIs in createCustomerInCRMZ format is next close choice w.r.t modularization and less maintenance but the naming of APIs is directly coupled with the legacy system. A better foreseen approach would be to name your APIs by abstracting the backend system names as it allows seamless replacement/migration of any backend system anytime. So, this is not the correct choice too.

>> createCustomer, amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer is the right approach and is the best fit compared to other options as they are both modular and same time got the names decoupled from backend system and it has covered all requirements a System API needs.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors

*****************************************

>> Usually, if the APIs are designed and developed for specific consumers (known consumers/customers) then we would IP Whitelist the same to ensure that traffic only comes from them.

>> However, as this scenario states that the APIs are publicly available and being used by so many mobile and web applications, it is NOT possible to identify and blacklist all possible bad actors.

>> So, JSON threat protection policy is the best chance to prevent any bad JSON payloads from such bad actors.

Explanation

Correct Answer: The test runs immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and packaged

*****************************************

>> Integration tests are the last layer of tests we need to add to be fully covered.

>> These tests actually run against Mule running with your full configuration in place and are tested from external source as they work in PROD.

>> These tests exercise the application as a whole with actual transports enabled. So, external systems are affected when these tests run.

So, these tests do NOT run immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and packaged.

FYI... Unit Tests are the one that run immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and packaged.

Explanation

Correct Answer: The credentials provided by the IdP for identity management

*****************************************

Explanation

Correct Answer: When there is one CloudHub deployment of the API implementation to three CloudHub workers that must share the cache state.

*****************************************

Key details in the scenario:

>> Use the CloudHub Object Store via the Object Store connector

Considering above details:

>> CloudHub Object Stores have one-to-one relationship with CloudHub Mule Applications.

>> We CANNOT use an application's CloudHub Object Store to be shared among multiple Mule applications running in different Regions or Business Groups or Customer-hosted Mule Runtimes by using Object Store connector.

>> If it is really necessary and very badly needed, then Anypoint Platform supports a way by allowing access to CloudHub Object Store of another application using Object Store REST API. But NOT using Object Store connector.

So, the only scenario where we can use the CloudHub Object Store via the Object Store connector to persist the cache’s state is when there is one CloudHub deployment of the API implementation to multiple CloudHub workers that must share the cache state.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Convince the development team of the product API to adopt the API data model of the Order API such that integration logic of the Order API can work with one consistent internal data model

*****************************************

Key details to note from the given scenario:

>> Power relationship between Order API and Product API is customer/supplier

So, as per below rules of "Power Relationships", the caller (in this case Order API) would request for features to the called (Product API team) and the Product API team would need to accomodate those requests.
