MuleSoft Exam MCPA-Level-1 Topic 4 Question 73 Discussion
Topic #: 4
A retail company with thousands of stores has an API to receive data about purchases and insert it into a single database. Each individual store sends a batch of purchase data to the API about every 30 minutes. The API implementation uses a database bulk insert command to submit all the purchase data to a database using a custom JDBC driver provided by a data analytics solution provider. The API implementation is deployed to a single CloudHub worker. The JDBC driver processes the data into a set of several temporary disk files on the CloudHub worker, and then the data is sent to an analytics engine using a proprietary protocol. This process usually takes less than a few minutes. Sometimes a request fails. In this case, the logs show a message from the JDBC driver indicating an out-of-file-space message. When the request is resubmitted, it is successful. What is the best way to try to resolve this throughput issue?
Correct Answer: API Consumer requests access to API >> API Client implementes logic to call an API >> API routes the request to >> API Implementation
*****************************************
>> API consumer does not implement any logic to invoke APIs. It is just a role. So, the option stating 'API Consumer implementes logic to call an API' is INVALID.
>> API Implementation does not route any requests. It is a final piece of logic where functionality of target systems is exposed. So, the requests should be routed to the API implementation by some other entity. So, the options stating 'API Implementation routes the request to >> API' is INVALID
>> The statements in one of the options are correct but sequence is wrong. The sequence is given as 'API Client implementes logic to call an API >> API Consumer requests access to API >> API routes the request to >> API Implementation'. Here, the statements in the options are VALID but sequence is WRONG.
>> Right option and sequence is the one where API consumer first requests access to API on Anypoint Exchange and obtains client credentials. API client then writes logic to call an API by using the access client credentials requested by API consumer and the requests will be routed to API implementation via the API which is managed by API Manager.
