About Apache Camel
Apache Camel is an open source integration framework for connecting databases, APIs, message brokers, and cloud services. It helps you build integration routes in Java, YAML, or XML and run them on Spring Boot, Quarkus, or standalone with Camel CLI.
It provides 350+ connectors plus support for Enterprise Integration Patterns, data formats, and languages. Camel also includes an MCP server for AI coding assistants, components for LangChain4j and OpenAI, and support for the A2A agent-to-agent protocol.
Apache Camel has been in production since 2007 and is licensed under Apache License 2.0. It also has runtimes for Camel K on Kubernetes, Camel Karaf on OSGi, and Camel Kafka Connector for Kafka Connect.
