Camel is still very good at what it does IMHO. It's been around for a long time, and perhaps it shows in some aspects, however the number of integrations it provides is really huge, so that's still a great thing about it.
Akka-Camel has not really seen much chances in the last years, but having that said and knowing it's (and camels) architecture, that seems to be mostly because what it does suits the majority of the use cases (translating to/from actor messaging to camel endpoints). I know of quite a few projects successfully using both still nowadays, so if you think the task at hand seems to fit, give it a shot I'd say.

At first I was disappointed in myself for not knowing about it sooner. But there isn't much discussion around it. I know this may be subjective, but is Camel still a best practice solution when writing Scala apps which need to tie in with various services? Where are people putting their efforts when considering similar problems? Thanks in advance, and sorry for such a vague question... -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
