Pipebase

Concepts

Pipebase is built on five concepts. You don’t need to understand them all to ship your first flow, but you’ll meet them as you scale.

  • Flows — the unit of integration work. A YAML file Camel executes; a visual graph the designer renders.
  • Runtimes — Camel-runtime instances flows deploy to. One per environment, connected by transport routes.
  • Transport routes — the promotesTo graph that defines how flows move between environments.
  • Categories — user-editable labels for grouping flows. Currently UI-only.
  • Mesh — cross-runtime communication via Kafka
    • Pulsar. Opt-in via --profile mesh.
