Apache Camel K

This version (1.12.x) of Camel K depends on:

camel-k-runtime at version 1.17.1, and therefore:
- Apache Camel extensions for Quarkus at version 2.16.0.
- Camel at version 3.20.1
- Quarkus at version 2.16.0.Final
Kamelet Catalog at version 3.20.1.1

This is a long term service release.

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

Just write a helloworld.groovy integration file with the following content:

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 install and get started with Camel K.
