Phantom is Reactive type-safe Scala driver for Apache Cassandra/Datastax Enterprise. So, first lets explore what Apache Cassandra is with some basic introduction to it.
Apache Cassandra
Apache Cassandra is a free, open source data storage system that was created at Facebook in 2008. It is highly scalable database designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure. It is a type of NoSQL database which is Schema-free. For more about Cassandra refer to this blogGetting Started With Cassandra.
Phantom-DSL
We wanted to integrate Cassandra into Scala ecosystem that’s why we used Phantom-DSL as one of the module of outworkers. So, if you are planning on using Cassandra with Scala, phantom is the weapon of choice because of :-
- Ease of use and quality coding.
- Reducing code and boilerplate by at least 90%.
- Automated schema generation
