= Running an Integration in Dev Mode

Camel K provides a specific flag for quickly iterating on integrations during development and have fast feedbacks on the code you're writing.
It's called *dev mode*.

Differently from other frameworks, artifacts generated by Camel K in *dev mode are no different* from the one you run in production.
Dev mode is just a helper to let you be quicker during development.

To enable dev mode, just add the `--dev` flag when running the integration:

```
kamel run examples/languages/Sample.java --dev
```

The `--dev` flag deploys immediately the integration and shows the integration logs in the console. You can then change the code and see
the **changes automatically applied (instantly)** to the remote integration pod.

The console follows automatically all redeploys of the integration.

Here's an example of the output:

```
$ kamel run examples/languages/Sample.java --dev
integration "sample" created
integration "sample" in phase Initialization
integration "sample" in phase Building Kit
integration "sample" in phase Deploying
integration "sample" in phase Running

You can write your own integration from scratch or start from one of the examples available in the https://github.com/apache/camel-k/releases[release page].
