Using apache camel for microservices and integration then deploying and managing on Docker and Kubernetes. When we need to make changes to our app, we can use Fabric8 continuous delivery built on top of Kubernetes and OpenShift.

faster than on the inside the end is in sight.

7. • Trying to incorporate new technology?
• Trying to copy what others (Netflix, Amazon) are
doing?
• Tactical automation?
• Created a “DevOps” team?
• Exploring cloud services?
• Build/deploy automation?
• OpenSource?
• Piecemeal integration?
How are you keeping up with change?

8. Cloud Native Architectures
• Faster software delivery
• Own database (data)
• Faster innovation
• Scalability
• Right technology for the
problem
• Test individual services
• Isolation
• Individual deployments

9. Microservices helps solve the problem of
“how do we decouple our services and
teams to move quickly at scale to
deliver business value”

10. Microservices Envy:
http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/microservice-envy
You’re not going to do microservices
http://christianposta.com/blog/not-gonna-happen

11. • If my services are isolated at the process
level, I’m doing #microservices
I’m doing microservices if…
• If I use REST/Thrift/ProtoBuf instead of
SOAP, I’m doing #microservices
• If I use JSON, I’m doing #microservices
• If I use Docker / SpringBoot / Dropwizard /
embedded Jetty, I’m doing #microservices

12. People try to copy Net7lix, but they can only
copy what they see. They copy the
results, not the process.
Adrian Cockcroft, former Chief Cloud Architect, Netflix

14. Call it what you want; SOA, microservices –
it’s all just distributed systems

16. Cloud Native Architectures
Fallacies of distributed computing
• Reliable networking
• Latency is zero
• Bandwidth is infinite
• Network is secure
• Topology doesn’t change
• Single administrator
• Transport cost is zero
• Network is homogenous
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies_of_distributed_computing

17. Cloud Native Architectures
If we have to take into account the network,
do we still need integration?

18. Cloud Native Architectures
We’ll just do reactive, event-driven
distributed systems… still need integration?

19. Cloud Native Architectures
Yes; we need reliable integration!
• REST, RPC
• Messaging (ActiveMQ, JMS, AMQP, STOMP, Kafka, etc)
• Legacy (SOAP, mainframe, file processing, proprietary)
• Managed file processing
• Streaming
• Message transformation
• EIPs

20. Heavy Lifting: Camel for Microservices

21. Cloud Native Architectures
Apache Camel to the rescue!
• Small Java library
• Distributed-system swiss-army knife!
• Powerful EIPs
• Declarative DSL
• Embeddable into any JVM (EAP, Karaf, Tomcat, Spring
Boot, Dropwizard, Wildfly Swarm, no container, etc)
• Very popular (200+ components for “dumb pipes”)

22. Real developers ride Camels!

23. Cloud Native Architectures
Apache Camel to the rescue!
• Automatic retries, backoff algorithms
• Dynamic routing
• Powerful testing/mocking framework
• Circuit breakers
• Backpressure mechanisms
• Beautiful REST DSL with built in Swagger support

24. • “Smart endpoints, dumb pipes”
• Endpoint does one thing well
• Metadata used for further routing
• Really “dynamic” with rules engine (eg,
Drools/BRMS)
Dynamic Routing

25. REST DSL
public class OrderProcessorRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {
@Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
rest().post(“/order/socks”)
.description(“New Order for pair of socks”)
.consumes(“application/json”)
.route()
.to(“activemq:topic:newOrder”)
.log(“received new order ${body.orderId}”)
.to(“ibatis:storeOrder?statementType=Insert”);
}
}

26. • Throttle EIP
• http://camel.apache.org/throttler.html
• Blocking SEDA Queue
• from(“seda:name?size=100&blockWhenFull=true)
• Configure jetty/netty to use blocking acceptor
queues
• https://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Howto/High_Load
• Using Exception handling/retry and DLQ
logic when getting flow controlled
• http://camel.apache.org/error-handling-in-camel.html
Backpressure with Camel

27. Circuit breaker
public class OrderProcessorRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {
@Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from(“direct:someinterface”)
.loadbalance()
.circuitBreaker(3, 20000L, MyException.class)
.to(“ibatis:storeOrder?statementType=Insert”);
}
}

28. Cloud Native Architectures
Quick Demo?

30. Cloud Native Architectures
Typical problems developing microservices
• How to run them all locally?
• How to package them (dependency management)
• How to test?
• Vagrant? VirtualBox? VMs?
• Specify configuration
• Process isolation
• Service discovery
• Multiple versions?

31. Cloud Native Architectures
Shared infrastructure platforms headaches
• Different teams
• Different rates of change
• VM sprawl
• Configuration drift
• Isolation / multi-tenancy
• Performance
• Real-time vs batch
• Compliance
• Security
• Technology choices

32. Cloud Native Architectures
Reasonable solutions
• Automate, automate, automate
• Duct tape, shoe string, bungee cords
• Rely on templates, versioning, scm
• Fuse Fabric

34. Cloud Native Architectures
Immutable infrastructure/deploys
• “we’ll just put it back in Ansible”
• Avoid chucking binaries / configs together and hope!
• Cattle vs Pets
• Don’t change it; replace it
• System created fully from automation; avoid drift
• Eliminate manual configuration/intervention

35. Docker / Linux Containers

37. Kubernetes

39. • Developer focused workflow
• Enterprise ready
• Higher level abstraction above containers for
delivering technology and business value
• Build/deployment triggers
• Software Defined Networking (SDN)
• Docker native format/packaging
• CLI/Web based tooling

• Technology agnostic (java, nodejs, python,
golang, etc)
• Built upon decades of industry practices
• 1-click automation
• Cloud native (on premise, public cloud, hybrid)
• Complex build/deploy pipelines (human
workflows, approvals, chatops, etc)
• Comprehensive integration inside/outside the
platform
What if you could do all of this right now
