phantom

Reactive type-safe Scala driver for Apache Cassandra/Datastax Enterprise

To stay up-to-date with our latest releases and news, follow us on Twitter: @outworkers.

If you use phantom, please consider adding your company to our list of adopters. Phantom is and will always be open source, but the more adopters our projects have, the more people from our company will actively work to make them better.

Migrating to phantom 2.14.0(phantom-finagle users)

Please refer to the new docs on query execution to understand the breaking changes in phantom 2.14.0. They will affect users of phantom-finagle. Details here.

Even if you do not use phantom-finagle but just the normal phantom-dsl, import com.outworkers.phantom.dsl._ is now required in more places than before. The future method is no longer implementation by query classes, but rather added via implicit augmentation by QueryContext. The return type of the future method is now dependent on which QueryContext you use, so that's why importing is required, without it the necessary implicits will not be in scope.

Migrating to phantom 2.x.x series

The new series of phantom introduces several key backwards incompatible changes with previous versions. This was done to obtain massive performance boosts and to thoroughly improve user experience with phantom.

Read the MIGRATION GUIDE for more information on how to upgrade.

Available modules

This is a table of the available modules for the various Scala versions. Not all modules are available for all versions just yet, and this is because certain dependencies have yet to be published for Scala 2.12.

Phantom OSS

Phantom Pro subscription edition

Modules marked with "x" are still in beta or pre-publishing mode.

Using phantom

Scala 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 releases

We publish phantom in 2 formats, stable releases and bleeding edge.

Tutorials on phantom and Cassandra

For ease of use and far better management of documentation, we have decided to export the README.md to a compiled Wiki, now available here.

The following are the current resources available for learning phantom, outside of tests which are very useful in highlighting all the possible features in phantom and how to use them.

This is a list of resources to help you learn phantom and Cassandra:

• Quickstart
• Official documentation
• Datastax Introduction to Cassandra.
• The official Scala API docs for phantom
• The main Wiki
• The StackOverflow phantom-dsl tag, which we always monitor!
• Anything tagged phantom on our blog is a phantom tutorial: phantom tutorials
• A series on Cassandra: Getting rid of the SQL mentality
• A series on Cassandra: Indexes and keys
• A series on Cassandra: Advanced features
• A series on phantom: Getting started with phantom
• The Play! Phantom Activator template
• Thiago's Cassandra + Phantom demo repository

Issues and questions

back to top

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

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

Phantom is built on top of the Datastax Java Driver, which handles Cassandra connectivity and raw query execution.

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.

Here are a few of the biggest phantom adopters, though the full list is far more comprehensive.

Phantom was developed at outworkers as an in-house project. All Cassandra integration at outworkers goes through phantom, and nowadays it's safe to say most Scala/Cassandra users in the world rely on phantom.
