What’s New in Kaoto 2.10? Kaoto 2.10 represents a major leap forward in visual integration design, now powered by Apache Camel 4.18.0. This release bridges the gap between API-first design and integration development with full REST DSL and OpenAPI support, while significantly expanding DataMapper capabilities to handle complex multi-file schemas. Combined with production-ready drag-and-drop functionality, building sophisticated integrations has never been more intuitive. Here are the key highlights of this release: REST DSL Support with OpenAPI Integration Kaoto 2.
Four years ago, I started writing an API Gateway. Not because I wanted to build a product — but because we needed more from the tools we had. I was working inside a government institution running a complex hybrid environment — services spread across on-premises data centers and cloud, strict security and compliance requirements, and a growing number of APIs that all needed to be managed, secured, and observed. We were using a well known API Gateway product, a capable and powerful platform, but for our use case, it was too heavy.
With Camel K version 2.9 we have enhanced the GitOps capability of the operator to run a builtin opinionated GitOps strategy. In this blog we are going to expand with a complete example and show how to enabled with a sample Camel application we build on an environment and we promote to another environment controlled with a gateway. The process will be the following: a development team (the “citizen integrator”?) is in charge to develop and test a given Camel application on a development environment.
