[All Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Architect (Mule-Arch-201) Questions]

An API implementation is updated. When must the RAML definition of the API also be updated?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Correct Answer : When the API implementation changes the structure of the request or response messages

*****************************************

>> RAML definition usually needs to be touched only when there are changes in the request/response schemas or in any traits on API.

>> It need not be modified for any internal changes in API implementation like performance tuning, backend system migrations etc..

I think migrating to a newer version of the Mule runtime might not necessarily need a RAML update unless there are structural changes.

I feel like optimizing for response time might not require a RAML update, but I'm a bit uncertain about that.

I think we had a practice question about updating API definitions when switching backend systems. That seems relevant here, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember we discussed that the RAML should definitely be updated when the request or response structure changes, but I'm not sure if that's the only time.

Wait, what's the difference between a legacy on-premises system and a modern cloud-based system? I'm a bit confused on how that would impact the RAML definition.

Okay, let's see. The key is to focus on when the API implementation changes in a way that affects the request or response messages. I think I've got a good handle on this.

I remember learning about this in class. The RAML definition needs to be updated whenever the API implementation changes in a way that affects the contract, like the request or response structure. The other options seem more like implementation details.

Haha, I bet the developer who had to optimize the API for better response time was pulling their hair out. Option D is a bit overkill for the RAML update.
