We love Cassandra to bits and use it in every bit our stack. phantom makes it super trivial for Scala users to embrace Cassandra.

Cassandra is highly scalable and it's by far the most powerful database technology available, open source or otherwise.

  • Phantom is built on top of the Datastax Java Driver, which does most of the heavy lifting.
  • Phantom has its own proprietary immutable QueryBuilder written in Scala, to offer an idiomatic query DSL.
  • If you're completely new to Cassandra, a much better place to start is the Datastax Introduction to Cassandra.
  • An even better introduction is available on [our blog] (http://outworkers.com/blog/tag/cassandra/), where we have a full series of introductory posts to Cassandra with phantom.

We are very happy to help implement missing features in phantom, answer questions about phantom, and occasionally help you out with Cassandra questions! Please use GitHub for any issues or bug reports.
