Anypoint Platform Architecture: Application Networks

About this class

Discover how to build an application network with API-led connectivity using Anypoint Platform.
In this 3-day instructor-led course, learn how to generate an effective application network out of
individual integration solutions in order to connect applications, data, and devices with APIs.

Who should take this class?

This course is designed for senior solution architects and enterprise architects who are
responsible for building application networks with API-led connectivity on MuleSoft Anypoint
Platform. This is also a great course for anyone interested in earning their MuleSoft Platform
Architect I credential.

Students should hold their MuleSoft Developer I credential or possess equivalent knowledge,
have previous experience as an architect for a cloud platform software development initiative,
and understand how to develop software for Java Virtual Machine. They should be familiar with
enterprise integration, including interface definitions and contracts, data encoding with XML or
JSON, REST APIs or SOAP web services, query languages, message-passing (using Java
Message Service, Advanced Message Queuing Protocol, or similar), network protocols (such as
TCP, IP, HTTP, and HTTPS), and single-resource transactions.

Students should also have a basic understanding of Anypoint Platform, foundational security
concepts, including certificates and encryption, and common enterprise and cloud technology
architecture components, including identity providers, load-balancers, and name servers.

Note: Students using their own computer are expected to follow the steps outlined in this
Computer Setup Guide.

When you complete this class, you will be able to:

Break down functional requirements into business-aligned, versioned APIs with effective
granularity and an API data model.

Direct creation and publication of API-related assets using RESTful API modeling
language (RAML) and Anypoint Platform components.

Architect for non-functional requirements on the level of API invocations and

implementations using components of Anypoint Platform.

Design for specific requirements by augmenting API-led connectivity with event-driven

architecture.

Select appropriate Anypoint Platform deployment options.

 Advise on effective use of the automation capabilities of Anypoint Platform for DevOps,
CI/CD, and testing.

Advise on the establishment and operation of a Center for Enablement (C4E).
