Deploying a Camel Route in AWS Lambda using Quarkus

 , by

Do you fancy running camel route as functions in AWS Lambda. Well I did a small Proof Of Concept to test this and the results were interesting. Thanks to the Quarkus and Camel-Quarkus communities for their efforts to make this technically possible. You can find the working sample in the Camel Quarkus Examples github repo #Deploying a Camel Route in AWS Lambda : A Camel Quarkus example This project uses the following framework

I find it useful when I need to have a overall view of interactions between all the routes and endpoints, or to have a visual representation for better understanding and documentation. You can find all the details on the public GitHub repository.

Even implementing a simple stateless micro-service, one could face situations where testing becomes hard. A lot of tools and techniques could help, but having something at hand quickly is very handy. In this post, I’m introducing a Quarkus feature that plays nice with Camel in order to mock beans for test purpose. Camel and Quarkus together for mocking beans It’s long known that Camel offers great support for Java beans. Every time a developer needs custom code, this feature comes to the rescue.

Command line utility with Camel Quarkus

 , by

Camel and Camel Quarkus are typically used to create integration applications that run as long living processes, a.k.a. daemons or services.

The enterprise is full of scheduled batch processing. Say, some system exports some sort of reports daily at 4 a.
