According to MuleSoft's API development best practices, which type of API development approach starts with writing and approving an API contract?
A customer wants to use the mapped diagnostic context (MDC) and logging variables to enrich its logging and improve tracking by providing more context in the logs.
The customer also wants to improve the throughput and lower the latency of message processing.
As an Mulesoft integration architect can you advise, what should the customer implement to meet these requirements?
What aspect of logging is only possible for Mule applications deployed to customer-hosted Mule runtimes, but NOT for Mule applications deployed to CloudHub?
A leading eCommerce giant will use MuleSoft APIs on Runtime Fabric (RTF) to process customer orders. Some customer-sensitive information, such as credit card information, is required in request payloads or is included in response payloads in some of the APIs. Other API requests and responses are not authorized to access some of this customer-sensitive information but have been implemented to validate and transform based on the structure and format of this customer-sensitive information (such as account IDs, phone numbers, and postal codes).
What approach configures an API gateway to hide sensitive data exchanged between API consumers and API implementations, but can convert tokenized fields back to their original value for other API requests or responses, without having to recode the API implementations?
Later, the project team requires all API specifications to be augmented with an additional non-functional requirement (NFR) to protect the backend services from a high rate of requests, according to defined service-level
agreements (SLAs). The NFR's SLAs are based on a new tiered subscription level "Gold", "Silver", or "Platinum" that must be tied to a new parameter that is being added to the Accounts object in their enterprise data model.
Following MuleSoft's recommended best practices, how should the project team now convey the necessary non-functional requirement to stakeholders?
