Roadrunner Kv Laravel Package
spiral/roadrunner-kv
RoadRunner KV provides a fast, simple key-value storage layer for PHP apps running on RoadRunner. Store and retrieve data via an in-memory or configured KV backend with minimal overhead—useful for caching, flags, and lightweight shared state across workers.
Technical Evaluation
Architecture fit: Requires existing RoadRunner runtime with KV plugin enabled; ideal for PHP applications already using RoadRunner (e.g., Laravel/Symfony under RoadRunner). Not suitable for traditional PHP stacks without RoadRunner.
Integration feasibility: High if RoadRunner is already deployed. Requires minimal code changes (Composer install + client instantiation), but RoadRunner configuration must include KV plugin setup.
Technical risk: Low community adoption (10 stars), ambiguous future release date (2025-05-05), and limited public production case studies. Potential stability issues due to unproven scale. Backend-specific behavior (e.g., Redis vs. in-memory) may introduce hidden complexities.
Key questions:
- How does the client handle backend failures (e.g., Redis downtime)?
- What are the real-world performance benchmarks under high concurrency?
- Are there known limitations on key size, data types, or serialization?
- Is the package actively maintained by Spiral or community contributors?
Integration Approach
Stack fit: Best for RoadRunner-based PHP applications (e.g., Laravel with RoadRunner worker mode). Not compatible with traditional PHP-FPM or non-RoadRunner environments.
Migration path: Start with non-critical use cases (e.g., temporary worker-state sharing). Replace existing Redis/cache
