Master the design and implementation of enterprise integrations that connect internal systems, cloud platforms, and third-party services. You will design APIs with REST, GraphQL, and AsyncAPI, compare ESB, iPaaS, and event-streaming architectures, and build messaging backbones with Kafka and queue-based middleware. The course also covers API gateways, rate limiting and versioning, ETL and data synchronization patterns, and hands-on platform work with MuleSoft and Azure Integration Services.
