cache/simple-cache-bridge
Bridge any PSR-6 cache pool to PSR-16 SimpleCache. Wrap an existing PSR-6 implementation and use the simpler PSR-16 API in your app while keeping your current cache backend. Part of the PHP-Cache ecosystem.
Architecture fit: Laravel natively supports PSR-6 to PSR-16 conversion via Illuminate\Cache\Psr6Cache, making this package redundant. The bridge functionality is already built into Laravel's core cache system, creating unnecessary duplication.
Integration feasibility: Technically possible but strongly discouraged. Laravel's built-in implementation would be preferred to avoid dependency conflicts and maintain consistency.
Technical risk: High. Potential for conflicting implementations if both Laravel's native bridge and this package are used simultaneously. The package has no recent updates (last release Jan 2022) and zero dependents, indicating poor maintenance and compatibility risks with newer Laravel versions.
Key questions: Does Laravel's native Psr6Cache implementation fully satisfy the use case? Are there specific PSR-6 features this bridge provides that Laravel's version lacks? (Unlikely, as both implement standard PSR interfaces.)
Stack fit: Not applicable. Laravel's cache system already provides identical functionality through its Psr6Cache class, which wraps PSR-6 pools into PSR-16 interfaces without external dependencies.
Migration path: None required. Existing Laravel projects should directly use Illuminate\Cache\Psr6Cache for PSR-6 to PSR-16 conversion. No migration steps needed for this package.
Compatibility: Fully compatible with
