Overview

Who should take this course?

This course is for software developers who have mastered the fundamentals of creating Mule applications with Anypoint Studio™ and Anypoint Platform™ and now want to learn the skills and best practices to build production-ready integrations — applications that apply essential integration patterns to take on the production challenges of distributed communication. This course together with the the Anypoint Platform Development: Production-Ready Development Practices course prepares you to take the MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 2 exam. If you complete both courses and have a current MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 1 certification, you will automatically receive two exam attempts.

Prerequisites

• Experience developing Mule 4 applications as demonstrated by one of the following:
  • A current MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 1 certification
  • Completion of the Anypoint Platform Development: Fundamentals course
  • Completion of the Anypoint Platform Development: Mule 4 for Mule 3 Users course
• Experience using Maven to build Mule 4 applications
• Note: If you do not have Mule Maven experience, you should first complete the Anypoint Platform Development: Production-Ready Development Practices course.

When you complete this course, you will be able to:

• Invoke REST APIs and SOAP web services using various client components taking into consideration the non-functional properties of API invocations.
• Pass messages asynchronously reliably between Mule flows and Mule applications.
• Use various modules and techniques to implement message validation across Mule flows and Mule applications.
• Apply essential Enterprise Integration Patterns to orchestrate multiple Mule applications and API invocations.
• Use various techniques and Anypoint Platform components to store and manage state in an application network to increase performance and resilience.
• Identify and extract reusable Mule application code into different Mule runtime extensions.
