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 provider.
Camel K allows you to run integrations directly on a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster. To use it, you need to be connected to a cloud environment or to a local cluster created for development purposes.
You can use Camel DSL to define your Integration. Just save it in a file and use kamel command line interface (download latest release) to run it. As an example, just try running:
from('timer:tick?period=3000')
.setBody().constant('Hello world from Camel K')
.to('log:info')kamel run hello.groovy
You can even run your integrations in a dev mode. Change the code and see the changes automatically applied (instantly) to the remote integration pod! We have provided more examples that you can use to inspire your next Integration development.
You can use any of the Apache Camel components available. The related dependencies will be resolved automatically.

Camel K supports multiple languages for writing integrations.
See all the languages available.
The details of how the integration is mapped into Kubernetes resources can be customized using traits.
More information is provided in the official documentation traits section.
Since the inception of the project, our goal was to bring Apache Camel to the cloud.
