Organizations can also implement policies for rate limiting, allowing them to control the number of API requests made within a certain time frame. This helps prevent API abuse, ensures fair usage, and protects the API infrastructure from being overwhelmed by excessive traffic.
Caching and Performance Optimization
MuleSoft’s Universal API Management platform includes powerful caching mechanisms to improve API performance and reduce latency. Organizations can configure caching policies to store API responses in memory, allowing subsequent requests for the same data to be served directly from the cache.
By caching API responses, organizations can reduce the load on backend systems and improve response times for API consumers. This not only enhances the overall user experience but also increases the scalability and efficiency of the API infrastructure.
