High-performance local cache which synchronizes automatically on distributed systems.

Introduction

Using PHP files for caching data is one of the fastest caching methods for PHP. Especially opcache makes this method very fast. However, this caching method cannot be used for distributed systems without any kind of synchronization.

This package implements a fast and synchronized local cache. Locally cached data is synchronized periodically and every time when processing a queued job.

The local cache state is synchronized using a common cache backend such as redis or whatever network cache you prefer.

Installation

Install via composer:

composer require mehr-it/lara-local-synchronized-cache

Configuration

'local-sync' => [
    'driver' => 'local-synchronized',

    // path for cache data
    'path'   => storage_path('framework/cache/local-sync'),

    // name of the cache used for synchronizing the global state
    'shared_store' => null,

    // time to live for locally cached data (in seconds) before the global state is synchronized again 
    'local_ttl' => 60,

    // prefix for keys in shared store
    'shared_store_pfx' => 'loc-sync-cache_',

    // set file permission
    'file_permission' => 0644,

    // set directory permission
    'directory_permission' => 0755,
