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

Correct Answer: Persistent Object Store

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

>> Redis distributed cache is performant but NOT out-of-the-box solution in Anypoint Platform

>> File-storage is neither performant nor out-of-the-box solution in Anypoint Platform

>> java.util.WeakHashMap needs a completely custom implementation of cache from scratch using Java code and is limited to the JVM where it is running. Which means the state in the cache is not worker aware when running on multiple workers. This type of cache is local to the worker. So, this is neither out-of-the-box nor worker-aware among multiple workers on cloudhub.

>> Persistent Object Store is an out-of-the-box solution provided by Anypoint Platform which is performant as well as worker aware among multiple workers running on CloudHub.

So, Persistent Object Store is the right answer.

Explanation

Correct Answer: They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.

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

In API-led connectivity,

>> Experience APIs - allow for innovation at the user interface level by consuming the underlying assets without being aware of how data is being extracted from backend systems.

>> Process APIs - compose data from various sources and combine them with orchestration logic to create higher level value

>> System APIs - reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping unlock data from backend systems in a reusable and consumable way.

However, they NEVER promise that they provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.
