 PATTERN BASED INTEGRATION
Apache Camel, a powerful pattern-based integration engine with a comprehensive
set of connectors and data formats to tackle any integration problem.

Key foundational capabilities needed by today’s enterprises

-EVENT ORIENTED INDIVIDUALLY DEPLOYABLE END-POINTS

Camel in the Cloud
 Best Practice - Small in Size
● Camel is light-weight
○ (camel-core 4mb)
○ + what you need

● Single fat-jar via:

 Best Practice - Stateless
● Favour stateless applications

● If state is needed:
○ Data-grid ○ Storage
■ camel-infinispan ■ camel-sql
■ camel-hazelcast ■ camel-jpa
■ camel-ignite ■ camel-kafka
■ ... ■ ...
○ Kubernetes
■ Stateful-set
 Best Practice - Configuration Management
● Kubernetes ConfigMap
○ Inject via ENV
○ Inject via files

● Kubernetes Secrets
○ Inject via ENV
○ Inject via files
$ kubectl get cm -o yaml my-configmap
apiVersion: v1
data:
fallback: I still got no response
kind: ConfigMap
 Best Practice - Fault Tolerant
● Camel Retry ● Camel Hystrix
○ onException ○ circuit breaker
○ errorHandler
 Best Practice - Fault Tolerant
● Camel Retry
○ onException
○ errorHandler
 Best Practice - Fault Tolerant
● Camel Retry
○ onException

Thundering Herd
Problem
 Best Practice - Health Checks
● Health Checks
○ camel-spring-boot actuator
○ wildfly-swarm monitor

● Readiness Probe
○ Kubernetes

● Liveness Probe
○ Kubernetes
 Best Practice - EIP Patterns
● Works anywhere
 Plugins
● Consul EIP Cloud Patterns Service Call
● Etcd
● Kubernetes
● Ribbon
● Zookeeper

from("timer")
.serviceCall("hello-service");
 EIP Cloud Patterns Hystrix EIP

from("timer:foo")
.hystrix()
.to("http:myservice")
.onFallback()
.to("bean:myfallback")
.end()
