Summary
This course is for developers who have mastered the fundamentals of creating Mule applications with Anypoint Studio and Anypoint Platform™ and now want to learn the skills and best practices to implement production-ready Mule applications — applications that are ready to be used in a DevOps environment in professional software development projects. This includes securely provisioning API-related artifacts; automating the building, unit testing, and deployment of Mule applications; making Mule applications easily monitored; sharing development assets between projects; and more.
This course and the Anypoint Platform Development: Production-Ready Integrations course prepare students to take the MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 2 exam. After successful completion of both courses, students with a current MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 1 certification automatically receive two exam attempts.
