Databricks' official Scala coding style guide, distilled from maintaining large Scala codebases like Apache Spark and Delta Lake. It documents naming conventions, formatting rules, and guidance on Scala language features and concurrency practices.

Use cases

• set up a Scala style guide for my team
• learn Scala best practices from Databricks
• standardize Scala code formatting across a project
• decide how to use implicits and Options in Scala
• review Scala code against a style checklist

When to choose

• your team writes Scala at scale and wants battle-tested conventions
• you contribute to Databricks-affiliated projects like Spark or Delta Lake
• you want guidance on idiomatic Scala language feature usage

When to avoid

• you need an enforceable linter or formatter rather than a written guide
• your team follows a different style standard like the official Scala style guide
• you need tooling that automatically checks style compliance
