Part 6 Out in the wild

The last part of the book is where we go wild.

The first and most important topic is about how to cluster your Camel applications. In chapter 17, you’ll find a range of different examples of how to cluster with HTTP, files, messaging systems, distributed caches, and schedulers. That’s not all—you can also cluster by container-based infrastructure, which is covered in the following chapter.

Chapter 18 takes you on a wild ride by first covering how to get started using Camel in the world of Docker and Kubernetes container platforms. Docker and Kubernetes have gained rapid popularity and are becoming the de facto standard for running applications in the cloud.

Chapter 19 walks you through the various Camel tooling. You’ll learn about the Camel Maven plugin that comes out of the box with the Apache Camel release, and we’ll do a breakdown of the most interesting third-party Camel tooling on the internet. Appendix A discusses the deceptively named Simple language, which has become quite powerful. And finally, appendix B lists various useful resources where you can find more information about Apache Camel in the wider Camel community.
