Which Integration Framework Should You Use – Spring Integration, Mule ESB or Apache Camel?


https://dzone.com/articles/which-integration-framework

Data exchanges between companies are increasing a lot. The number of applications that must be integrated is increasing, too. The interfaces use different technologies, protocols and data formats. Nevertheless, the integration of these applications must be modeled in a standardized way, realized efficiently and supported by automatic tests.
Three integration frameworks are available in the JVM environment, which fulfil these requirements: Spring Integration, Mule ESB and Apache Camel. They implement the well-known Enteprise Integration Patterns (EIP, http://www.eaipatterns.com) and therefore offer a standardized, domain-specific language to integrate applications.
These integration frameworks can be used in almost every integration project within the JVM environment – no matter  which technologies, transport protocols or data formats are used. All integration projects can be realized in a consistent way without redundant boilerplate code.
This article compares all three alternatives and discusses their pros and cons. If you want to know, when to use a more powerful Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) instead of one of these lightweight integration frameworks, then you should read this blog post: http://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2011/06/02/when-to-use-apache-camel/ (it explains when to use Apache Camel, but the title could also be „When to use a lightweight integration framework“).

Comparison Criteria

Several criteria can be used to compare these three integration frameworks:
  • Open source
  • Basic concepts / architecture
  • Testability
  • Deployment
  • Popularity
  • Commercial support
  • IDE-Support
  • Errorhandling
  • Monitoring
  • Enterprise readiness
  • Domain specific language (DSL)
  • Number of components for interfaces, technologies and protocols
  • Expandability

 

Apache Camel vs Spring Integration

Full-stack Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs) like BizTalk, WebSphere MB, Mule, ServiceMix et.al have been dominating the Enterprise Integration scene for quite some time. But with the rise of Microservices and its enabling tools such as Spring Boot and Docker, light-weight Integration Frameworks are becoming more and more attractive. In this post, we’ll compare the two most popular frameworks, Apache Camel and Spring Integration in terms of expressiveness and conciseness.
Integrating Enterprise Applications is challenging, but luckily the challenges are often well known and understood. Enterprise Integration Patterns, the seminal work by Gregor Hophe and Bobby Woolf, provides a catalogue of typical, recurring challenges and software patterns to address them.
