Salesforce Exam Integration Architect Topic 5 Question 34 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Integration Architect exam
Question #: 34
Topic #: 5
[All Integration Architect Questions]

Universal Containers (UC) currently owns a middleware tool and they have developed an API-led integration architecture with three API tiers. The first tier interfaces directly with the systems of engagement, the second tier implements business logic and aggregates data, while the third tier interfaces directly with systems of record. Some of the systems of engagement will be a mobile application, a web application, and Salesforce.

UC has a business requirement to return data to the systems of engagement in different formats while also enforcing different security protocols.

What should an Integration Architect recommend to meet these requirements?

Exactly. An API gateway seems to cover both security and return format requirements comprehensively.

But D doesn't address the need for different data formats for systems of engagement. It’s more about identity management.

Hmm, that makes sense. What about D? An Identity Provider with SAML could handle security.

API gateways can manage all security protocols and format conversions centrally. It simplifies architecture.

Option B with the API gateway could work, but that feels like an extra layer of complexity. C keeps it more streamlined.

I agree, option C with enforcing separate security protocols and return formats at the second tier seems like a more streamlined approach.

Why B though? Isn't it better to enforce security and return formats directly?

Haha, I bet the developers are already dreading the 'different security protocols' requirement. Implementing that at the gateway seems like a nightmare!

I agree with Alise. Keeping the security and formatting logic centralized in the middle tier is a good design pattern.

Option C makes the most sense. Enforcing the security protocols and return formats at the second tier ensures consistency and flexibility across the API tiers.
