Course Overview
This course teaches experienced solution & technical architects or lead/senior developers how to make integration solutions that meet functional & non-functional requirements using Anypoint Platform™. It builds on prior experience developing & deploying Mule applications, & gives concrete guidance on how to make integration solutions for the Mule runtime (both (Mule 4 & Mule 3) in the various deployment options supported by the Anypoint Platform. The course is case-study driven, with the solution architecture & effect on the organization's overall architecture being documented as the course progresses. This training prepares students to take the MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 exam & includes two exam attempts.
