Several times a week, an API implementation shows several thousand requests per minute in an Anypoint Monitoring dashboard, Between these bursts, the dashboard shows between two and five requests per minute. The API implementation is running on Anypoint Runtime Fabric with two non-clustered replicas, reserved vCPU 1.0 and vCPU Limit 2.0.
An API consumer has complained about slow response time, and the dashboard shows the 99 percentile is greater than 120 seconds at the time of the complaint. It also shows greater than 90% CPU usage during these time periods.
In manual tests in the QA environment, the API consumer has consistently reproduced the slow response time and high CPU usage, and there were no other API requests at this time. In a brainstorming session, the engineering team has created several proposals to reduce the response time for requests.
Which proposal should be pursued first?
- A. Modify the API client to split the problematic request into smaller, less-demanding requests
- B. Throttle the APT client to reduce the number of requests per minute
- C. Increase the vCPU resources of the API implementation
- D. Increase the number of replicas of the API implementation
