Explanation

Correct Answer: When the API implementation changes the structure of the request or response messages

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

>> RAML definition usually needs to be touched only when there are changes in the request/response schemas or in any traits on API.

>> It need not be modified for any internal changes in API implementation like performance tuning, backend system migrations etc..

Understanding the Need for Cross-API Monitoring:

The Center for Enablement (C4E) needs to investigate potential technical issues across multiple APIs in the application network that may be causing customers to abandon their carts.

This requires a solution that allows viewing metrics across several APIs in real-time to identify any performance issues or bottlenecks.

Evaluating Anypoint Platform Features:

Built-in Dashboards: Anypoint Platform provides built-in dashboards in Anypoint Monitoring, allowing teams to view metrics from multiple APIs in a single interface. This feature is designed to monitor API performance, latency, errors, and throughput, and is ideal for tracking performance across all layers of the application network.

Custom Dashboards: While custom dashboards allow for more tailored views, the built-in dashboards already aggregate metrics for multiple APIs, making it unnecessary to build a custom solution for this scenario.

Functional Monitoring: This feature is used to set up tests to monitor specific API functionality and uptime but is not suited for tracking metrics across multiple APIs in real-time.

API Manager: API Manager primarily focuses on managing API policies, contracts, and access control rather than providing detailed, real-time metrics across the entire application network.

Conclusion:

Option B (Built-in dashboards) is the best choice because it provides a comprehensive view of metrics from all APIs involved, enabling the C4E team to quickly identify any issues that may be contributing to abandoned shopping carts.

Refer to MuleSoft’s documentation on Anypoint Monitoring and built-in dashboards for more details on configuring and using these dashboards effectively.

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.
