Ultimate Mulesoft Certified Platform Architect Course - MCPA

Explains six possible configurations of customer hosted control plane and runtime plane, including on-premise and cloud versions, and PCF option; guides architects to choose best-fit combinations for each project.

Explore a pictorial decision chart to evaluate data and metadata location, security and compliance, cost, time, and infrastructure architecture, guiding you to on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployment options.

Understand identity management and client management on the Anypoint platform, including single sign-on, external providers, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, connected apps, and audit logging.

Explore identity management, client management, connected apps, and audit logging on the Anypoint platform. Learn how to configure OpenID Connect and Saml 2.0 identity providers, client providers, and connected apps.

Compare fine grained versus coarse grained APIs within a three-layer architecture, and see how separate system layer APIs for item, customer, and location improve maintainability, deployability, and scalability.

Learn to document APIs with Anypoint platform using API notebooks and API consoles, manage RAML definitions, versioning, and exchange content, and publish suitable experience-layer APIs to the public developer portal.

Demonstrates enforcing API policies on the create sales order endpoint, linking API manager with runtime manager, auto discovery, and endpoint with proxy versus basic endpoint setups.

Explore how to create, upload, and enforce custom API policies in the Anypoint platform, including pre and post processing and the policy chain concept.

Explore the http caching policy for server-side caching in the api manager, cache http responses for get or head requests using a configurable key, size, ttl, and invalidate headers.

Cloud Hub offers a scalable, available MuleSoft hosted platform on AWS for Mule runtime applications, with Linux EC2 workers up to eight and auto scaling, JVM, and Route 53 DNS.

Cloud Hub load balancers route API traffic to mule applications via shared and dedicated load balancers, forwarding http and https requests to 8081/8082 with TLS termination and internal VPC mappings.

Set timeouts as the primary defense to fail fast and protect performance, aligning per-call timeouts with a 200 ms to 500 ms SLA across system, process, and experience layers.

Use a client-side cache as a fallback when API calls fail, with keys like customer, item, or location IDs, and prefer slightly stale responses under http rules (get, head, options).

Explore when to use event-driven architecture, with an event router for decoupled, fanout-capable integrations, and how to design for durability, asynchronous processing, and exactly once processing and ordering.

Learn how Anypoint MQ, MuleSoft's multi-tenant cloud messaging service, provides REST API access, role- and token-based controls, async queues and exchanges, and durable, fifo messaging with dead letter queues.

Build a strong DevOps foundation by aligning development and operations, automating tests and deployments via CI/CD, standardizing git repositories and artifact repositories like Nexus, and planning rollback for production.

Demonstrates manually promoting Mule apps from sandbox to other environments in Runtime Manager, selecting artifacts and preserving runtime and properties, with notes on CI/CD automation via Mule Maven plugin.

Learn vertical and horizontal scaling on the Anypoint platform by adjusting Cloud Hub worker sizes and scale-out nodes, with zero downtime deployment and auto-scaling policies.

Discover Anypoint monitoring, a consolidated endpoint monitoring solution with rich metrics, dashboards, alerts, log aggregation, and region-aware data storage that surpasses manager and runtime manager.
