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 encapsulates endpoint-specific details and prevents them from leaking into the business logic of an integration flow. The Edge Component pattern is also known as **Multiple Service Contracts**.

## Context and problem

Integration applications based on the Pipe and Filter architectural style divide a complex integration task into smaller independent tasks connected by channels. For small flows, it is not important how the processing steps are organized, but for large and complex flows, the flexibility offered by the Pipe and Filter style can lead to a messy spaghetti structure that is hard to maintain and change in the long term.
