In the world of API development and integration, securing API calls is paramount to ensure that data exchange between systems is protected from unauthorized access.
If your enterprise is using Mulesoft platform, APIs access can be protected by a combination of one or more of the schemes below:
When we talk about integrating different software systems to work together, keeping track of every step of a transaction as it moves through these systems can be quite tricky.
Modern solutions are sliced in several different layers and services. Each call to your APIs and each schedule job may generate an enormous amount of logs across several different systems.
Have you ever given the task to track back an error and you don't know exactly the whole transaction lifecycle up to the moment of the issue? How much easier would be your job if all logs for a particular transaction had an unique id added to the each log statement?
This is where unique correlation IDs come into play. They act like a tracking number for each transaction, making it much easier to see the whole journey from start to finish.
