Integration strategy & solutions built on Apache Camel
We design the integration layer and build it on Apache Camel — the open-source, vendor-neutral mediation engine that implements the Enterprise Integration Patterns. From target-state architecture to production routes, we connect your systems without license lock-in.
from("kafka:orders?groupId=leadex")
.routeId("order-sync")
.errorHandler(deadLetterChannel("kafka:orders.DLQ")
.maximumRedeliveries(3).redeliveryDelay(2000))
.unmarshal().json(JsonLibrary.Jackson)
.choice() // content-based router
.when(simple("${body.region} == 'EMEA'"))
.to("salesforce:createSObject?sObjectName=Order")
.otherwise()
.to("direct:enrich")
.end()
.marshal().json()
.to("rest:post:/v1/fulfilment");- Kafka

Our approach
- 01
Assess
Map systems, data flows, and integration debt. Quantify the cost of point-to-point sprawl and agree the target-state architecture and sequencing.
- 02
Architect
Design API-led and event-driven layers, and pick the right pattern per flow — sync vs. async, batch vs. stream — with the right runtime for each workload.
- 03
Build
Implement Camel routes as contract-first, unit-tested microservices with CI/CD, so integrations ship like software — reviewed, versioned, repeatable.
- 04
Operate
Run flows with structured error handling, dead-letter recovery, metrics, and tracing — backed by governance and ongoing support against agreed SLAs.
Expertise
Deploy anywhere
Camel on Spring Boot and Quarkus, containerised on Kubernetes & OpenShift, including the Red Hat build of Apache Camel.
EIP, applied
Content-based routing, splitter / aggregator, idempotency, dead-letter channels and saga — the patterns that make flows resilient.
300+ components
Kafka, JMS / AMQP, REST & SOAP, JDBC, files and SaaS endpoints including Salesforce — one route reaches almost any system.
Tested, observable
Camel test kit and contract testing, Micrometer metrics and distributed tracing, with DSLs in Java, XML or YAML.
Outcomes
- No lock-in
- Open-source core — own your integration logic, not a vendor licence.
- Ship faster
- Reusable routes and CI/CD shorten time from design to production.
- Cloud-native
- Lightweight runtimes scale per workload on your existing platform.
- Resilient
- Built-in retries, DLQs and observability keep flows recoverable.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose Apache Camel?
Camel is open source and implements the Enterprise Integration Patterns, with 300+ components for systems such as Kafka, JMS, REST, SOAP, databases and Salesforce. You own the integration logic without a vendor licence.
Can Apache Camel and MuleSoft work together?
Yes. We choose the runtime per workload: MuleSoft where you want a managed platform with API management, Camel where a lightweight open-source runtime fits. Both can be part of one integration architecture.
Where can Camel run?
On Spring Boot or Quarkus, containerised on Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift, including the Red Hat build of Apache Camel.
