Hi, We've been dealing with that kind of questions for the last months and eventually ended up thinking that it's better to stick to Akka. It's true that Camel gives you a plethora of connectors and integration patterns right out of the box, but that benefits come with some costs. For example, every time you need to upgrade a dependency you'll have to close your own version of the integration component. Also, you'll have to deal with the overhead caused by the integration Akka-Camel. Finally, you'll have a CamelContext, side by side with the AkkaSystem.
At the end of the day, camel components are just adapters that typically relies on third party libraries. So, why not use that libraries directly in your Akka actors?. If I were you, I'd stay tunned to the new Vaugh Vernon book [1] that probably comes with some interesting building blocks in order to implement the same enterprise integration patterns as Camel does. Hope it helps. BR, Juanjo.
