Question #: 41
Topic #: 1

Universal Containers (UC) currently owns a middleware tool and they have developed an API-led integration architecture with three API tiers. The first tier interfaces directly with the systems of engagement, the second tier implements business logic and aggregates data, while the third tier interfaces directly with systems of record. Some of the systems of engagement will be a mobile application, a web application, and Salesforce.

UC has a business requirement to return data to the systems of engagement in different formats while also enforcing different security protocols.

What should an Integration Architect recommend to meet these requirements?

AEnforce separate security protocols and return formats at the first tier of the API-led
architecture.

BImplement an API gateway that all systems of engagement must interface with first.

CEnforce separate security protocols and return formats at the second tier of the API-led architecture.

Option A is just asking for trouble. Trying to manage all that at the first tier? No way, that's a recipe for a maintenance nightmare.

I agree, it would be much better to implement an API gateway for all systems to interface with first.

Haha, I bet the developers are hoping the right answer isn't Option D. Who wants to deal with SAML, am I right?

I'm leaning towards Option C. Enforcing the security and formatting at the second tier seems more efficient than trying to handle it all at the first tier.

Option B sounds like the way to go. Implementing an API gateway to handle the different security protocols and return formats makes a lot of sense. It keeps the complexity out of the individual API tiers.
