Strategies for scaling MuleSoft APIs efficiently
Below are a few excellent strategies for scaling MuleSoft APIs efficiently. Rate Limit Circuit Breaker Pattern (CBP) Auto-Scaling Horizontal Scaling Resource Pooling Optimise Data Transformation Threading and Concurrency Monitoring and Analytics API Gateway Caching Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) Scalability Testing Health Checks
Standardise and accelerate development using reusable API Templates in Mule 4.x
The MuleSoft template project is very useful for defining standards for designing Mule applications (xAPI, pAPI, sAPI) across your enterprise and used as a prototype to build similar applications with enterprise-defined standards, naming conventions, common reusable assets/dependencies and to share and reuse it across the organisation. Key features Defined enterprise-level standards across your API layers […]
MuleSoft — Global Error Handler
Error handling in Mule 4 is critical to building reliable and robust applications. In Mule 4, errors are handled using the Try scope. The Try scope allows you to catch and take errors in your application. Where in certain cases, errors will be handled at the global level using on error continue/on error propagate. When […]
MuleSoft — MUnit Reusable Test Suites
I will create a generic test suite using parameterisation in MuleSoft MUnits to test different test scenarios (e.g.: Positive Test, Negative Test/Specific Error scenarios). Test cases will be reusable using parameterised test suites, which run the same test cases across APIs (across different resources/endpoints) with different inputs. The below steps will help generate these reusable […]
MuleSoft reusable components, auto-generated documents and endpoint details in 10 minutes
Create custom traits, responses, resource types, and libraries so that API-led connectivity has a consistent format, response, error type, etc. Below are steps which will help to generate this custom framework: 1: Create Traits, Headers, Error Type Create Traits for specific organisation-level headers, error types, etc. Error Code Specific Response Traits hasBadRequest (400), hasInternalProblem (500), […]
