MCIA-Level-1 Exam

The MuleSoft MCIA-Level-1 and MCIA-Level-1-Maintenance exams serve different purposes and target different aspects of MuleSoft certification. Here’s a breakdown of their key differences:
An external API frequently invokes an Employees System API to fetch employee data from a MySQL database. The architect must design a caching strategy to query the database only when there Is an update to the Employees table or else return a cached response in order to minimize the number of redundant transactions being handled by the database.
A banking company is developing a new set of APIs for its online business. One of the critical API's is a master lookup API which is a system API. This master lookup API uses persistent object store. This API will be used by all other APIs to provide master lookup data.
Master lookup API is deployed on two cloudhub workers of 0.1 vCore each because there is a lot of master data to be cached. Master lookup data is stored as a key value pair. The cache gets refreshed if they key is not found in the cache.
Doing performance testing it was observed that the Master lookup API has a higher response time due to database queries execution to fetch the master lookup data.
Due to this performance issue, go-live of the online business is on hold which could cause potential financial loss to Bank.
As an integration architect, which of the below option you would suggest to resolve performance issue?
An external REST client periodically sends an array of records in a single POST request to a Mule application API endpoint.
The Mule application must validate each record of the request against a JSON schema before sending it to a downstream system in the same order that it was received in the array
Record processing will take place inside a router or scope that calls a child flow. The child flow has its own error handling defined. Any validation or communication failures should not prevent further processing of the remaining records.
To best address these requirements what is the most idiomatic(used for it intended purpose) router or scope to used in the parent flow, and what type of error handler should be used in the child flow?
