Getting started with the Red Hat build of Apache Camel

An agile, distributed, containerized, and API-centric solution to integrate applications by transforming data, composing, and orchestrating services across hybrid infrastructures.

Try Camel in the Developer Sandbox

With an integrated development environment (IDE) called Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, the Developer Sandbox is a playground for developers looking to explore Kubernetes-based application platforms. 

The best part? No local installs are required, making it easier than ever to get started. The tutorials below will guide you through how to set up your own free-to-use environment and try Camel in the Developer Sandbox.
