Course Overview
Using APIs, an application network connects applications, data, and devices within an enterprise as well as to external ecosystems. This course teaches experienced enterprise and solution architects how to direct the emergence of a practical application network from individual integration solutions following API-led connectivity across an organization. It is case-study driven, with the solution architecture and impact on the organization's enterprise architecture for two strategic change initiatives being documented as the course progresses.
The course includes two exam attempts and prepares students to take the MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect - Level 1 exam.
