This introductory guide demonstrates how to create a simple integration using Apache Camel to stream real-time air quality data through a Redpanda streaming data platform, leveraging the JBang tool for ease of development. Redpanda, a Kafka-compatible platform, offers increased speed and reduced costs compared to Kafka, while Apache Camel simplifies connectivity and integration with its established enterprise patterns. The tutorial outlines setting up a Camel route to pull data from an API endpoint every 30 seconds, using Enterprise Integration Patterns like Splitter and WireTap to process and route data to separate topics for scalability. By utilizing JBang, developers can quickly run Camel routes as scripts without the need for extensive project setup, and Redpanda's Kafka API compatibility facilitates seamless integration with Camel. The guide also covers running Redpanda locally using Docker, demonstrating the streaming and monitoring capabilities through the Redpanda Console, and concludes with instructions to export the Camel route into a Quarkus-based Java project.
