Course Description

This introductory instructor-led Anypoint Platform Training course is for anyone and everyone involved in an Anypoint Platform project who wants to get hands-on experience learning what Anypoint Platform is and how it is used to discover, consume, design, build, deploy, manage, and govern APIs. Students do not write any code.

Note: This course is not for developers and architects who are going to take the Anypoint Platform Development: Fundamentals (Mule 4) course or the self-study MuleSoft.U Development Fundamentals (Mule 4) course, which include this content and much more.

A downloadable datasheet for the course can be found here.

Objectives

At the end of this Mule 4 Training 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.

Audience

Prerequisites

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

 

Setup Requirements

 

  • A computer with:
    • At least 8-16 GB RAM (16 highly recommended), 2GHz CPU, and 10GB available storage
