Apache Camel is the proven Swiss knife of integration for more than a decade and still growing in the cloud era. As a Java based framework, it makes perfect sense for Camel to reap the benefit from Quarkus, the Kubernetes Java stack tailored for OpenJDK HotSpot and GraalVM. In this hands on demo, I will show what it looks like to develop with Camel Quarkus. One could expect to take away some key concepts and maybe a willingness to join the lively Camel community :)

Alexandre is a Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat and a member of the Apache Camel Project Management Committee. He is deepening his interest in Open Source for a few years now with a current focus on Camel Quarkus.

In this talk, we will leverage all cloud native stacks and tools to build Camel Quarkus routes natively using GraalVM native-image on Tekton pipeline and deploy these routes to Kubernetes cluster with Knative installed. We will dive into the following topics in the talk: - Introduction to Camel - Introduction to Camel Quarkus - Introduction to GraalVM Native Image - Introduction to Tekon - Introduction to Knative - Demo shows how to deploy end to end a Camel Quarkus route which include the following steps: - Look at whole deployment pipeline for Cloud Native Camel Quarkus routes - Build Camel Quarkus routes with GraalVM native-image on Tekton pipeline. - Deploy Camel Quarkus routes to Kubernetes cluster with Knative Targeted Audience: Users with basic Camel knowledge

Omar Al-Safi is an Open Source Software Engineer at Talend. He is an active Apache Camel contributor and Apache Camel PMC. His experience before contributing to Apache Camel, revolved around building streaming platforms with Kafka, Kafka Streams as well as contributing to Debezium project.

Apache Kafka is getting used as an event backbone in new organizations every day. We would love to send every byte of data through the event bus. However, most of the time, connecting to simple third party applications and services becomes a headache that involves several lines of code and additional applications. As a result, connecting Kafka to services like Google Sheets, communication tools such as Slack or Telegram, or even the omnipresent Salesforce, is a challenge nobody wants to face. Wouldn’t you like to have hundreds of connectors readily available out-of-the-box to solve this problem? Due to these challenges, communities like Apache Camel are working on how to speed up development on key areas of the modern application, like integration. The Camel Kafka Connect project, from the Apache foundation, has enabled their vastly set of connectors to interact with Kafka Connect natively. So, developers can start sending and receiving data from Kafka to and from their preferred services and applications in no time without a single line of code. In summary, during this session we will: - Introduce you to the Camel Kafka Connector sub-project from Apache Camel - Go over the list of connectors available as part of the project - Showcase a couple of examples of integrations using the connectors - Share some guidelines on how to get started with the Camel Kafka Connectors

Open Source light API Gateway built with Apache Camel
Recently I was challenged to find alternatives to the existing API Gateway infrastructure.
Not being able to find any solution with all we need to offer, Apache Camel was the perfect candidate.
We called it CAPI Gateway!
CAPI provides the following features: Light API Gateway powered by Apache Camel and Spring Boot, Dynamic Routes (REST and Websockets), Customizable processors, Integration with external Identity Providers (Default is Keycloak), API Manager Interface, distributed tracing system (Zipkin), Metrics (Prometheus), API Subscription Engine (Keycloak), Traffic management (Apache Camel Kafka), analytics for the metrics (Grafana) and Error/Blocking strategies.

Apache Camel K is a lightweight integration platform built from Apache Camel. Integrations built with Camel K run natively on Kubernetes and are specifically designed for serverless architectures. With the declarative nature in Camel K users can instantly run integration code written in Camel DSL on their preferred cloud. The presentation outlines typical integration scenarios with Camel K and shows how to write automated tests for these enterprise integrations. The session covers classical service provider/consumer scenarios with common messaging protocols (e.g. REST, JMS, Kafka) as well as more complex integrations with data access and 3rd party Saas services included. The tests itself will also be Cloud Native citizens and make use of Behavior Driven Development concepts.

This talk takes a look at our traditional enterprise integration needs, how we have typically solved them with Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) via Apache Camel (running in Apache Karaf) and how to use a new way of deploying Camel (and ultimately our enterprise integration solutions) with Camel K to put enterprise integration on "Cloud Native" steroids. During the talk we'll discuss a typical integration performed using Enterprise Integration Patterns with Apache Camel, why approaching problems with this technology is even more valuable in our brave new cloud world, and demonstrate how to put this on cloud native steroids with Camel K.
