WEBINAR: Elegant, modern, lightweight integration using enterprise integration patterns - 16th Sept 2015

Elegant, modern, lightweight integration using enterprise integration patterns

WEBINAR DATE: Wednesday, September 16, 2015

TIME: 1-2 PM ET

Enterprise environments are now more complex—connecting APIs across Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps, cloud apps, partner apps, and on-premise apps. Business is also demanding more innovative and faster services, which requires a modern and lightweight integration platform that easily scales with business requirements and is flexible to adapt to different use cases.

Apache Camel is a powerful integration framework that provides a POJO-based implementation of the enterprise integration patterns (EIPs) using an extremely powerful domain specific language (DSL) to configure routing and mediation rules. Apache Camel facilitates simple, flexible, and straightforward integration of a wide array of technologies and stacks (expressed as URIs) using common, well-defined enterprise integration patterns.

In this webinar, you'll learn about the foundational building blocks of Apache Camel, including:

• The CamelContext
• Domain specific language (DSL)
• Enterprise integration patterns (EIPs)
• Routes, pipelines, and RouteBuilders
• Components and endpoints

You'll also learn how all these components work together to deliver an easy-to-use and powerful integration framework in Red Hat JBoss Fuse, a lightweight integration platform. JBoss Fuse can be flexibly deployed and dynamically provisioned across an enterprise for a variety of use cases to integrate everything, everywhere.
