Explanation

Correct Answer: Implement required changes to the Process API implementation so that, whenever possible, the Process API’s RAML definition remains unchanged.

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

Key requirement in the question is:

>> Approach that minimizes the impact of this change on API clients

Based on above:

>> Updating the RAML definition would possibly impact the API clients if the changes require any thing mandatory from client side. So, one should try to avoid doing that until really necessary.

>> Implementing the changes as a completely different API and then redirectly the clients with 3xx status code is really upsetting design and heavily impacts the API clients.

>> Organisations and IT cannot simply postpone the changes required until all API consumers acknowledge they are ready to migrate to a new Process API or API version. This is unrealistic and not possible.

The best way to handle the changes always is to implement required changes to the API implementations so that, whenever possible, the API’s RAML definition remains unchanged.

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: Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs

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

API Invocation metrics provided by Anypoint Platform:

>> Does NOT provide any Return Of Investment (ROI) related information. So the option suggesting it is OUT.

>> Does NOT provide any information w.r.t how APIs are reused, whether there is effective usage of APIs or not etc...

>> Does NOT prodive any prediction information as such to help us proactively identify any future policy violations.

So, the kind of data/information we can get from such metrics is on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs.
