It’s the time of the year when we take a look back at 2022, and compile a brief summary (by numbers) of the Apache Camel project(s). Camel 2022 in Numbers Number of Camel Core releases in 2022: 19 Number of Camel Quarkus releases in 2022: 15 Number of Camel K releases in 2022: 11 Number of Camel Kafka Connector releases in 2022: 4 Number of commits in 2022: 6162 [1]
Apache Camel 3.20 has just been released. This release introduces a set of new features and noticeable improvements that we will cover in this blog post. Camel Core The Split EIP has been optimized to perform faster and reduced overhead when splitting by a String literal or a regular expression. When working with EIPs you may want to temporarily disable one or more EIPs. Today you have to comment out code, or remove the EIPs.
Starting from Camel 3.19.0 we have four cloud services supported for loading properties as secrets: AWS Secret Manager Google Cloud Secret Manager Azure Key Vault Hashicorp Vault One of the problems we faced in the development was related to finding a way to automatically refresh the secret value on the secrets update. The main players in the cloud game are providing solutions based on their services: AWS provides multiple ways to be notified about secret updates and secret rotations through AWS Cloudtrail or AWS Cloud events, GCP leverages Google Pubsub to deliver messages with events related to secret, while Azure provides multiple ways of getting notified about events related to a vault in the Azure Key Vault service, mostly by using Azure Eventgrid as an intermediate service.
