This course is about enterprise integration patterns proposed by Apache Camel.

The Camel Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) provide the interfaces to communicate with large component-based distributed systems. When designing the best integration solution for message-oriented applications, these patterns help save time and effort.

In this course, you'll learn about all four foundational patterns. You'll be introduced to Error Handling patterns, Deployment patterns, and Configuration patterns. Each pattern is discussed in detail to be used in distinct settings. You'll also gain a deep understanding of how each pattern works under different circumstances, and implement them appropriately when necessary using real-world examples to illustrate the design specifics. Camel EIPs offer advantages over traditional frameworks such as REST or SOAP regarding integration problems within an organization.

By the end of this course, you'll have hands-on practice with valuable interfaces and the simplification processes for integrating applications across an organization's services.

Using Apache Camel with Enterprise Integration Patterns

## Intent

This pattern allows agnostic business logic to be repeatedly used in different service contexts. **Reusability** is one of the main tenets of object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. It is also one of the main promises of component-based and service-oriented architectures. In this lesson, we will look at this principle from a Camel application point of view, where it expresses itself as the Reusable Route pattern.

## Context and problem

Reuse is a common and overrated goal in many software projects to avoid redundancy. It can be implemented at many levels, starting from methods and class level reuse to complex processing flow reuse and complete service reuse (as advertised by SOA). When implementing a complex system composed of multiple services, there might be bits of logic repeated in multiple places, in the same service, or different services. That repetition can vary from small endpoint configuration to complex sets of processing steps. Rather than duplicating the implementation (through copy and paste) and making it harder to maintain in the long term, it is better to reuse a single implementation in multiple places.
