cache/array-adapter
PSR-6 cache pool implemented with an in-memory PHP array. Zero configuration: just instantiate ArrayCachePool for fast, ephemeral caching in tests or single-request use. Part of the PHP Cache ecosystem with shared docs and optional features info.
Architecture fit: Strictly for in-memory, request-scoped caching. Zero production suitability; only viable for isolated testing or development scenarios where cache persistence isn't required. Laravel's native cache system uses PSR-16 (simple cache), while this package is PSR-6-compliant, creating a compatibility mismatch that requires additional bridging logic.
Integration feasibility: Low for production use cases. Requires custom PSR-6-to-PSR-16 adapter implementation to integrate with Laravel's Cache facade, which adds complexity and maintenance overhead. Not feasible for shared or persistent caching needs.
Technical risk: High risk of accidental production deployment due to simplicity of setup. Data loss on request termination, memory exhaustion in long-running processes (e.g., Swoole), and lack of TTL auto-pruning could cause subtle bugs. No active maintenance (last release 2022) increases vulnerability to PHP version
