| = Apache Camel K |
| |
| Apache Camel K is a lightweight integration framework built from Apache Camel that runs natively on Kubernetes and is specifically designed for serverless and microservice architectures. |
| |
| Users of Camel K can instantly run integration code written in Camel DSL on their preferred cloud (Kubernetes or OpenShift). |
| |
| [[how-it-works]] |
| == How It Works |
| |
| Just write a _helloworld.groovy_ integration file with the following content: |
| |
| ```groovy |
| from('timer:tick?period=3000') |
| .setBody().constant('Hello world from Camel K') |
| .to('log:info') |
| ``` |
| |
| You can then execute the following command: |
| |
| ``` |
| kamel run helloworld.groovy |
| ``` |
| |
| The integration code immediately runs in the cloud. **Nothing else** is needed. |
| |
| Continue reading the documentation to xref:installation/installation.adoc[install and get started with Camel K]. |
