16.59Interview question: “How would you troubleshoot slow Mule API?”

Strong answer:

“I'd first decompose latency rather than assuming Mule itself is slow. I'd compare API latency with downstream Salesforce/API latency, retry counts, connection/resource saturation, traffic levels, and recent deployment changes. Then I'd trace representative requests using correlation IDs and look at p95/p99 rather than only averages.”

Excellent.
