Introduction to Weik.io
Learn about Weik.io, the open source integration and automation platform
Integrating different systems is rarely clean. You usually end up wiring together CRMs, legacy databases, and third-party APIs with a mess of fragile scripts. Weik.io is an open-source platform built to make this process less painful. It handles integrations, API management, file transfers, and event routing under a single roof.
What Weik.io does
Instead of writing custom glue code for every connection, you can use Weik.io to handle:
- Integrations: Connect systems using Apache Camel patterns.
- API management: Create, deploy, and manage REST APIs.
- File transfers: Schedule and monitor file movements with Rclone.
- Event processing: Route CloudEvents using NATS messaging.
Platform components
Weik.io splits the work across six main parts:
- Backend: The central brain. It handles REST APIs, state, and configuration.
- Agent: The worker. It actually runs the integrations (using Apache Camel and RCLONE).
- UI: The web dashboard where you can see what’s happening.
- CLI: The command-line tool, because nobody wants to click through a UI to deploy.
- APIM: The API gateway, built on Microsoft YARP.
- NATS: The message broker that lets all these parts talk to each other.
Configuration
You configure Weik.io using:
- YAML files, when you want to define things declaratively.
- The REST API, for programmatic control.
- The CLI, for terminal operations.
It also includes logging, monitoring, and OpenTelemetry support out of the box, so you aren’t flying blind when things break.
Deployment options
Open source
Self-hosted deployment with source code access. You can spin it up on your own infrastructure or a local machine using Docker Compose.
Get Started • Docker Compose Setup
Cloud
A managed service where we handle updates and monitoring. Plans start at €49/month.
Cloud Enterprise
Managed service with an SLA. We deploy it directly into your Azure account and provide enterprise-grade support.
See Deployment Options for a detailed comparison.
Use cases
You can use Weik.io to:
- Connect ERP and business systems without writing custom connectors from scratch.
- Spin up an API Gateway to add authentication and rate limiting to internal APIs.
- Keep databases in sync on a schedule.
- Automate messy file transfers between legacy FTP servers and cloud storage.
- Route events between microservices.
Example integration
Here is a basic integration that polls a database and sends data to an API:
- from:
uri: "timer:sync?period=300000"
steps:
- to:
uri: "sql:SELECT * FROM orders WHERE status = 'pending'"
- marshal:
json: {}
- to:
uri: "https://api.example.com/orders"
This runs every 5 minutes, grabs pending orders from a SQL database, converts the rows to JSON, and POSTs them to an API.
