Why I Built Talisman

I spent 25 years in enterprise integration, working with many proprietary and open-source platforms. For the last ten of those years, I worked with Apache Camel and products built on it: Red Hat Fuse, Fuse Online, and Talend.

I built Karavan to help developers new to Apache Camel, especially non-Java developers, build integrations with the new Apache Camel YAML DSL.

After two years of helping enterprise customers adopt Karavan, I built Talisman Platform: the development and operations accelerators those teams needed, on top of Karavan.
