Curtin’s Logging Monitoring and Alerting Story
6
Curtin’s Operational Challenges
• Difficult to Support
– Multi-Applications Support
• Cisco CMX, IAM, Curtin Connect etc
– Manage Curtin Integration Platform
• APIs, Publishers, Subscribers
• CloudHub logs are limited by Size (10 MB or 30 Days)
• Reactive Approach
– Unaware of Service outage instantly
– No Operations Automation

What Are Cloud Native Apps
18
Cloud Native Applications refers to a type of application that
natively utilizes services and infrastructure provided
by cloud computing providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS)
or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Built on serverless framework
• Leverages cloud services to scale up easily
• Dynamically generates each new page’s content using JS without
loading new HTML pages
• Dynamically fetch content from the server using APIs

Why Anypoint Platform
22
• Enterprise value focus
Centralised repository of all, reusable, business APIs/ microservices
• Interoperability
Mulesoft APIs provide backbone to all SPAs by surfacing data from various cloud and on-
premised systems such as SAP, Workflow Engine (K2)
• User experience is vital
Solution value is a function of solution use. Usability depends on satisfaction of functional
and non-functional requirements (e.g., reliability, integrity, performance and support).
• Security is implicit
All systems, regardless of criticality or maturity, must account for the confidentiality,
integrity and availability of the data they produce, consume or transport to the degree
required by their information classification
• Cloud-first
Eliminates the direct and indirect costs of scaling, maintaining and re-using solutions

23. Use-Cases

24. All contents © MuleSoft Inc.
Way finder : No Backend
24
• Provides information such as
– Free/occupied desk
– Desk occupancy
– User location
• Challenges
– Due to Right space policy, impossible to locate a person or a free desk
• Hooks to FacilityManagement system
• Domain Controllers capture log on, log off events of the logged in
users
• Switches send docking port information
• Cisco CMX captures for wi-fi location

25. All contents © MuleSoft Inc.
Smart Apps – ERP System (SAP)
25
• Used by field workers for creating Notifications and Work Orders
• Challenges
– Data entry was manual copy from spreadsheet to SAP.
– Data entry in SAP screens was challenging due to complexity and unavailability
of network
• Mulesoft APIs were created to get master data and store
transactional data back in the system
• The APIs are designed to respond to the user synchronously but the
interaction with backend happens asynchronously, giving seamless
experience to the users

Campaign Management – Messaging Pattern
26
• Is a cloud native application to maintain campaigns
• Challenges
– Manual data entry
• Asynchronous messaging pattern to synchronise to multiple systems
using Amazon MQ as a messaging system

27. All contents © MuleSoft Inc.
Onboarding – Process Automation
27
• Challenges
– Complex process
– Too many systems involved
• Connectivity
• Business process heavy lifting
• Enabled Service provider’s organisation to provide information
• Custom security

Challenges and Lesson Learned
28
• Challenges
– API Designs
– 3 layered Architecture
• Lesson Learned
– Use of Fragments
– Experience layer is important for varying non-functional requirments
