*© National Gallery of Art (nga.gov) We’re happy to announce the availability of Apache Camel K version 2.11.0. This is a special release as we have decided to move to a new runtime provider, plain-quarkus (ie, the regular Quarkus runtime), in order to upgrade with most recent Camel and Quarkus platform developments. See the warning emoji (⚠️) to understand which new feature can impact the upgrade process. Camel Quarkus (plain-quarkus) default runtime In the very first days of the Camel K project (even before Camel Quarkus existed), the team decided to create a special Java runtime, Camel K Runtime which was the unique available runtime back in time.

In Part 1 we prototyped GenAI observability with the Camel CLI and TUI. This follow-up — Phase 3 (Operate) — shows the same gen_ai.* telemetry in a Spring Boot application wired to the observability stack Camel ships for local development: Prometheus, VictoriaTraces, and Perses. The runnable sample lives in the camel-spring-boot-examples repository at genai-observability (reworked in PR #192).

Once LLMs live inside Camel routes, the next question is always the same: how much are we spending, and where is latency coming from? Apache Camel 4.23 introduces GenAI observability — OpenTelemetry spans and Micrometer metrics for LLM producers, aligned with the OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions. This is Blog 1 in a two-part series. We start with the fastest path to visible AI telemetry: the Camel CLI, a LangChain4j chat route, Ollama, and the Camel TUI — no Spring Boot required.
