OCI Application Integration Professional is about building integrations that are secure, observable, and resilient.
What you should be able to do
- Design APIs with API Gateway: routes, auth, throttling, and safe exposure patterns.
- Build event-driven workflows using Events, Notifications, and messaging/streaming concepts.
- Use Functions for serverless glue code and automation hooks.
- Secure integrations using IAM, Vault, and network boundaries.
- Operate systems in production: retries, idempotency, DLQs (concept-level), monitoring, and logging.
Efficient prep strategy
- Use the Syllabus as your checklist.
- Learn the common patterns (API -> event -> function -> sink).
- Drill scenario questions on security boundaries and failure handling.
- Use the Cheatsheet for last-mile decision tables.
