Camel Core

The User Manual is a comprehensive guide meant to help you with the key concepts of Apache Camel and software integration, from how to get started with Apache Camel, how to upgrade to Camel 3.x, to architecture or integration patterns.

Camel is packed with several hundred components that are used to access databases, message queues and APIs. The Component reference provides you information about the functionality and configuration of each component.

Camel K

Apache Camel K is a lightweight integration framework built on Apache Camel that runs natively on Kubernetes and is specifically designed for serverless and micro service architectures. It allows you to run integration code written in Camel DSL on your cloud.

Apache Camel K now leverages a catalog of connectors called “Kamelets” (Kamel route snipp_ets_) that allow creating sources or sinks towards external systems via a simplified interface, hiding all the low level details about how those connections are implemented.
