Getting Started with Anypoint Platform (Mule 4)

Duration: 2 Days 

Course Code: GSAP4

Prerequisite:

•    A basic understanding of data formats such as XML and JSON
•    A basic understanding of typical integration technologies such as HTTP, REST, and SOAP

Course Description:

This introductory course is for anyone involved in an Anypoint Platform™ project who wants to get hands-on experience learning about the platform and how to use it to discover, consume, design, build, deploy, manage, and govern APIs. Students will not write any code in this course.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 

•    Describe the benefits of application networks and API-led connectivity.
•    Use Anypoint Exchange as a central repository for the discovery and reuse of assets.
•    Use Flow Designer to build integration apps that consume APIs from Exchange and transform data.
•    Use API Designer to define APIs with RAML and make them discoverable by adding them to Exchange.
•    Use Anypoint Studio to build APIs that connect to databases and transform data with DataWeave.
•    Deploy API implementations to CloudHub.
•    Use API Manager to create and deploy API proxies that govern access to APIs.

Course Outline:

Module 1: Introducing application networks and API-led connectivity
•    Explain what an application network is and its benefits
•    Describe how to build an application network using API-led connectivity
•    Explain what web services and APIs are
•    Explore API directories and portals
•    Make calls to secure and unsecured APIs

Module 2: Introducing Anypoint Platform
•    Identify all the components of Anypoint Platform
•    Describe the role of each component in building application networks
•    Navigate Anypoint Platform
•    Locate APIs and other assets needed to build integrations and APIs in Anypoint Exchange
•    Build basic integrations to connect systems using Flow Designer

Module 3: Designing APIs
•    Define APIs with RAML, the Restful API Modeling Language
•    Mock APIs to test their design before they are built
•    Make APIs discoverable by adding them to Anypoint Exchange
•    Create API portals for developers to learn how to use APIs

Module 4: Building APIs
•    Use Anypoint Studio to create flows graphically
•    Build, run, and test Mule applications
•    Use a connector to connect to databases
•    Use the graphical DataWeave editor to transform data
•    Create RESTful interfaces for applications from a RAML file
•    Connect API interfaces to API implementations
•    Synchronize changes to API specifications between Anypoint Studio and Anypoint Platform

Module 5: Deploying and managing APIs
•    Describe the options for deploying Mule applications
•    Deploy Mule applications to CloudHub
•    Use API Manager to create and deploy API proxies to CloudHub
•    Restrict access to API proxies
