  •     When asynchronous execution of API invocations is needed, select when to appropriately use polling or callbacks.
  •     Identify idempotent HTTP methods and HTTP-native support for optimistic concurrency.
  •     Describe the creation and publication of reusable API-related assets using RAML and Anypoint Platform components.
Following API-led connectivity
  •     Identify appropriate APIs to implement a business process and assign them to layers of API-led connectivity.
  •     Assign APIs to layers according to ownership, functional focus, and rate of change.
