Why do we care?
Integrating Microservices with Apache Camel

Integrating Microservices with Apache Camel
Where are we now?
• Domain modeling
• Object Oriented design
• Functional decomposiiton
• Language specific modularity,
decomposition, fault-tolerance (eg, Erlang)
• Shared libraries?
Decomposition techniques
Integrating Microservices with Apache Camel
• Agile methodology
• Doman Driven Design
• REST
• Hexagonal Architectures
• Pipes and Filters
• Actor Model
• SEDA
Microservices emerged as a result…
A new term! Yay!
A concept that helps describe distributed
systems that organically evolve into scalable,
loosely coupled, independently managed sets
of services that work together to deliver
business value with acceptable tradeoffs.
So what are microservices?
Don’t get too caught up in the buzzword bingo;
Microservices is a good concept, but it’s not
itself a panacea.
So what are Microservices?
• Flexible technology choices
• “Smart endpoints” “dumb pipes”
• Independently scalable
• Decentralized, choreographed interactions
• Testable
• Automation, DevOps philosophy
• Design for failure
• Evolving design
Microservice characteristics
• No silver bullet; distributed systems are
*hard*
• Dependency hell, custom shared libraries
• Fragmented and inconsistent management
• Team communication challenges
• Health checking, monitoring, liveness
• Over architecting, performance concerns,
things spiraling out of control fast
Challenges with Microservices!
Why Apache Camel?
Real developers ride Camels!

Apache Camel
Apache Camel is an open-source,
light-weight, integration library.
Use Camel to integrate disparate systems
that speak different protocols and data
formats
Apache Camel
Enterprise Integration Patterns
http://camel.apache.org/eip
Features
● Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs)
● Domain Specific Language to write “flows” or “routes”
● Large collection of adapters/components for legacy
systems, B2B, and SaaS
● Strong Unit test/Integration test framework
● Expression languages
● Data Formats
● Tooling with JBoss Developer Studio
Pipes and Filters
Java DSL
public class OrderProcessorRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {
@Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from(“activemq:orders”)
.choice()
.when(header(“customer-rating”).isEqualTo(“gold”))
.to(“ibmmq:topic:specialCustomer”)
.otherwise()
.to(“ftp://user@host/orders/regularCustomers”)
.end()
.log(“received new order ${body.orderId}”)
.to(“ibatis:storeOrder?statementType=Insert”);
}
}
Spring XML DSL
<route id=“processOrders”>
<from uri=“activemq:orders”/>
<choice>
<when>
<simple>${header.customer-rating} == ‘gold’</simple>
<to uri=“wmq:topic:specialCustomer”>
</when>
<otherwise>
<to uri=“ftp://user@host/orders/regularCustomers” />
</otherwise>
</choice>
<log message=“received new order ${body.orderId}”/>
<to uri=“ibatis:storeOrder?statementType=Insert”/>
</route>
Camel - JBoss Developer Studio
• Dynamic routing options
• REST DSL
• Backpressure mechanisms
• Loadbalancing algorithms / Circuit Breaker
pattern
Heavy Lifting: Camel for Microservices
• “Smart endpoints, dumb pipes”
• Endpoint does one thing well
• Metadata used for further routing
• Really “dynamic” with rules engine (eg,
Drools/BRMS)
Dynamic Routing
• Content Based Router
• Dynamic Router
• Routing Slip
• Recipient List
Dynamic Routing
• Expressive way to define REST endpoints
• POST, REST, PUT
• Auto binding to POJOs
• Plugs into Swagger for interface
definition/documentation
• Uses configurable HTTP engine
• camel-netty-http
• camel-jetty
• camel-reslet
• camel-sevlet (deploy into other containers)
• camel-spark-rest
REST DSL (2.14)
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”);
}
}
• Backpressure is a way for a service to flow
control callers
• Detecting when can be difficult
• Need to bound processing queues in a
SEDA
• Take advantage of built in TCP flow control
for socket/http requests
Backpressure with Camel
• 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
• Useful to keep from overloading a system
(use in conjunction with backpressure if you
can)
• Smart loadbalancing
• Sticky
• Random
• Failover
• Circuit breaker
Loadbalance/Circuit breaker
Circuit breaker

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”);
}
}

Editor's Notes

  1. We are going to talk about microservices, and all the goodness that buzzword entails… because you probably wouldn’t have joined this webinar with a few buzzwords… because a talk named something like “oh the same old service oriented architecture with camel” wasn’t as nifty of a title…
  2. Everyone wants tightly integrated business systems However, a business’s model is usually far too complex to understand as a single unit Gotta break things down and modularize and reason about things in smaller units Eric Evans: The goal of the most ambitious enterprise system is a tightly integrated system spanning the entire business. Yet the entire business model for almost any such organization is too large and complex to manage or even understand as a single unit. The system must be broken into smaller parts, in both concept and implementation. The challenge is to accomplish this modularity without losing the benefits of integration, allowing different parts of the system to interoperate to support the coordination of various business operations. A monolithic, all-encompassing domain model will be unwieldy and loaded with subtle duplications and contradictions. A set of small, distinct subsystems glued together with ad hoc interfaces will lack the power to solve enterprise-wide problems and allows consistency problems to arise at every integration point. The pitfalls of both extremes can be avoided with a systematic, evolving design strategy.
  3. If you’re running everything on a single machine that is infinitely scalable… then most of this talk isn’t really for you… Building distributed systems is HARD And the single most difficult thing to get right is architecture… regardless of whether your doing monolith deployments or micro deployments, etc Make lives easier! Be able to maintain an application, or set of applications, and evolve it…. Don’t want to have to pay technical debt… Any time you make decisions, you offset and trade technical debt… it’s baseline technical debt.. Can’t do anything about that.. Any bad descisions you make to start, you start paying debt and it becomes exponential… Debt is always going to grow.. Maintainability ------------------ Swapping out pieces for off the shelf? Or the other way around, swapping out for cheaper, commodity pieces Scaling Bug fixes, dependency ripple affect But we are developing soft systems, not rigid buildings or structures.. Our requirements change frequently, and the way the applications we build are used in diferent ways Not only does the business landscape constantly change and force changes, but even without those constraints, once our software is built, we find that people use it or need it for something different than they thought and they wouldn’t have figured this out without first trying the software… so there is constant evolution. Sam Newman’s book on Building Microservices recalls an interaction with a colleague Erik Doernenburg and how they conceptually think of architects more as town planners and not as maniacal micromanaging software purists.
  4. Need to manage the communication between the zones or regional contexts within our architecture, or this can easily be the demise to our systems… Need a coherent strategy to achieve this!
  5. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design approach where multiple services collaborate together to provide some end set of capabilities. A service here typically means a completely separate operating system process. Communication between these services is done via calls across a network rather than method calls within a process boundary. SOA emerged as an approach to combat the challenges of the large monolithic applications. It is an approach which aims to promote the re-usability of software - two or more end-user applications for example could both use the same services. It is an approach which aims to make it easier to maintain or rewrite software, as theoretically we can replace one service with another without anyone knowing, as long as the semantics of the service don’t change too much. SOA at its heart is a very sensible idea. However, despite many efforts to the contrary, there is a lack of good consensus as how to do SOA well. In my opinion what much of the industry has failed to do is look holistically enough at the problem and present a compelling alternative to the narrative set out by various vendors in this space. Many of the problems lain at the door of SOA are actually problems with things like communication protocols (SOAP), vendor middle-ware, a lack of guidance about service granularity, or guidance on picking the wrong places to split your system. We’ll tackle each of these in turn throughout the rest of the book. A cynic might suggests that vendors co-opted (and in some cases drove) the SOA movement in a way to sell more products, and those self-same products in the end undermined the goal of SOA. Much of the conventional wisdom around SOA doesn’t help you understand how to split something big into something small. It doesn’t talk about how big is too big. It doesn’t talk enough about real-world practical ways to ensure that services do not become overly coupled. The number of things that go unsaid is where many of the pitfalls associated with SOA come from. The microservice approach has emerged from real-world use, taking our better understanding of systems and architecture on how to do SOA well. So you should instead think of Microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile software development.
  6. For many years now we have been finding better ways to build systems. We have been learning from what has come before, adopting new technology, and observing how a new wave of technology companies operate in different ways to create IT systems that help make both their customers and own developers happier. Eric Evans’ Domain Driven Design helped us understand the importance of representing the real world in our code, and showed us a path towards better ways to model our systems. Continuous Delivery showed how we can more effectively and efficiently get our software into production, instilling in us the idea that we should treat every check in as a release candidate. Our understanding of how the Web works has led us to develop better ways of having machines talk to machines. Alistar Cockburn’s Hexagonal Architecture guided us away from layered architectures where business logic could hide. Virtualisation platforms allowed us to provision and resize our machines at will, with Infrastructure Automation giving us a way to handle these machines at scale. Some large, successful organisations like Amazon and Google espoused the view of small teams owning the full life-cycle of their services. And more recently Netflix has shared with us ways of building anti-fragile systems at a scale that would be hard to comprehend just ten years before. Domain Driven Design. Continuous Delivery. On-demand virtualisation. Infrastructure automation. Small autonomous teams. Systems at Scale. Microservices have emerged from this world. They weren’t invented or described before the fact, they emerged as a trend, or a pattern, from real-world use. But they only exist because of all that has gone before. I will pull strands out of this prior work to help paint a picture of how to build, manage and evolve Microservices throughout the rest of this book. Many organisations have found that by embracing fine-grained, microservice architectures, they can deliver software faster and embrace newer technologies. Microservices give us significantly more freedom to allow us to react and make different decisions, allowing us to react faster to the inevitable change that impacts all of us.

  8. Intended for highly realiable, scalable distributed systems. Allow for planned/unplanned failures without compromising the entire system. You can know when a process dies and why it did (fabric?) You can force processes that depend on each other to die together if one of them goes wrong (co-locate systems in karaf) You can run a logger that automatically logs every uncaught exception for you, and even define your own Nodes can be monitored so you know when they went down (or got disconnected) You can restart failed processes (or groups of failed processes) Have whole applications restarting on different nodes if one fails And a lot more more stuff with the OTP framework
