Microservice with Apache Camel

So, I have to create a microservice which takes an input from a REST API endpoint which results in an invocation of another REST API endpoint, after the transformation of the input arguments.

I'm thinking to use Camel to do such job, the alternative being Spring Boot + Spring REST etc., but I'm just a beginner; so my questions are:

1) can I use Apache Camel to achieve this goal?

2) if yes, there would not be the need to use any message broker, right?

3) if yes, would it be a elegant lightweight solution (eg could it run in a Rasperry Pi)?

Thank you in advance for the time spent reading!

As Al noted Camel is very useful for creating microservices. Thought you might find this video from Claus Ibsen interesting as he discusses this very topic.

And if this helps here is a sandbox application I put together using Spring Boot and Camel

Hope these help

1) yes use http://camel.apache.org/how-to-use-camel-as-a-http-proxy-between-a-client-and-server.html as a starting point and just place your transformations between the from() and the to()

2) Correct, no message broker needed.

3) As long as you don't add in too many components.

Spring Boot + Apache Camel is also an elegant combination.
