+preview: "New integration designer capabilities, Karavan on OpenShift, Tekton
Pipelines and much more"
+---
+
+
+
+Karavan is an Integration Toolkit for Apache Camel aimed to increase developer
performance through the visualization of routes, integration with runtimes and
pipelines for package, image build and deploy to kubernetes out-of-the-box.
+
+Karavan Visual Designer for Integrations supports:
+
+- Enterprise Integration Patterns DSL
+- REST DSL
+- OpenAPI to REST DSL generator
+- Beans and dependencies
+- All Kamelets source/sink/action
+- All Components consumer/producer
+- Integration CRD (*.yaml with kind:Integration) and plain yaml routes
+
+Karavan integrates with the following Camel Runtimes:
+
+- Camel Jbang (local run)
+- Camel Quarkus (export and CI pipeline)
+- Camel Spring-boot (export only)
+- Camel Main (export only)
+
+Karavan can be used as:
+
+ - a cloud-native application in Kubernetes/OpenShift (FKA cloud/serverless
mode)
+ - a VS Code extenson
+
+Disclamer:
+
+The version of Karavan is now aligned to the Camel release that the UI
designer is based upon. This makes it easier to understand which Camel version
Karavan can be used as design editor. However Karavan 3.18 is not LTS.
+
+# Designer Improvements
+
+## Step EIP
+
+To make route clean and good looking user can incapsulate integration logic
using `Step` EIP.
+
+`Step` element in Karavan is **expanded** when selected and **collapsed** when
not selected.
+
+
+
+For existing routes it is possible to move existing DSL elements into `Step`
DSL
+
+
+
+# Cloud-native Itegration Toolkit
+
+Karavan cloud-native integration toolkit aimed to be deployed to OpenShift
(Kubernetes version is comming) to provide full lifecycle for integrators to
build, deploy and monitor their integrations in OpenShift/Kubernetes.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Cloud-native mode includes end-user application integrated with Git repository
to store projects, Tekton pipelines to build and deploy integrations to
OpenShift/Kubernetes and all menifests required to deploy the toolkit itself.
Check [how to deploy Karavan to
OpenShift](https://github.com/apache/camel-karavan/tree/main/karavan-builder).
+
+
+
+## Projects
+
+One of the new features in this preview release is projects. Although projects
temporary stored in build-in or external [Infinispan](https://infinispan.org/)
Karavan uses Git as permanent project storage. Git repository, user and token
are configured in Karavan deployment manifest
+
+
+
+
+
+## Build and deploy
+Karavan uses Tekton Pipelines to build and deploy integrations. Pipeline
generates canonical camel-quarkus maven project, then maven package command
makes compilation, image build and deployment. No magic!
+
+Caninical Tekton Task and Pipeline come with Karavan. However they could be
customize by users to align with their internal requitrements, common practices
and standards.
+
+
+
+## Kubernetes integration
+
+Starting from 3.18 Camel supports placeholders for secrets and configMaps
+Karavan supports them as well. In addition Karavan provides selectors for
ConfigMaps, Secrets and Services retrieved from Kubernetes.
+
+
+
+# VS Code extension
+
+For developers and integrator who prefer local development Karavan could be
used as a VS Code extension.
+In addidion to the main feature - visual integration designer, Karavan
provides a developer performance booster: integration with camel-jbang.
+
+## Run application
+
+Create integration using visual designer and then just click `run` button to
run it locally using camel-jbang.
+If `--dev` mode is **on** (configurable in VS Code Settings) your integration
reloads while editing.
+This gives a quick feedback loop.
+
+
+
+## Create Application
+
+For advanced features like additional dependencies, export to maven,
deployment to Kubernetes/OpenShift camel-jbang requires
`application.properties` file configured. User can create it using Karavan with
predefined properties for Camel-Qurkus (Spring-Boot and Camel-Main to come).
Predefined properties are configurable in VS Code Settings.
+
+
+
+## Export
+
+The latest Camel-jbang 3.18 implements export plain projectless integrations
to canonical maven projects.
+Karavan provides integration with this feature. Preconfigured
`application.properties` (see above) makes this process simple and smooth.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+# Feedback is gold
+
+Deploy Karavan as a [cloud-native integration
toolkit](https://github.com/apache/camel-karavan/tree/main/karavan-builder) or
install [VS Code
extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=camel-karavan.karavan)
from the Marketplace.
