Hi, 

I'd like to start kick off a discussion regarding backend integration. I've created a gist[1] for investigating using Camel Components to connect with backend services. In the process I've discovered a few issues and concerns that I'd like to discuss, and hopefully get feedback on what would be a good way to move forward.

Thanks, 

/Dan
