MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect – Level 1 — Question 15

An API implementation is deployed on a single worker on CloudHub and invoked by external API clients (outside of CloudHub).
How can an alert be set up that is guaranteed to trigger AS SOON AS that API implementation stops responding to API invocations?

Answer options

• A. Implement a heartbeat/health check within the API and invoke it from outside the Anypoint Platform and alert when the heartbeat does not respond.
• B. Configure a ג€worker not respondingג€ alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager.
• C. Handle API invocation exceptions within the calling API client and raise an alert from that API client when the API is unavailable.
• D. Create an alert for when the API receives no requests within a specified time period.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as configuring a 'worker not responding' alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager allows for immediate detection of the worker's unavailability. Option A relies on an external check, which may not be as immediate, while C depends on the client-side handling of exceptions, and D is based on request volume rather than direct responsiveness.
