Product Decisions This Supports

Build vs. buy for Laravel-side Lock integration: 0.3.0 confirms this package is a thin adapter over use-lock/client-php. Adopting it buys Laravel glue — service provider, configuration, framework conventions — while inheriting the underlying SDK’s release cadence.
Upgrade planning and roadmap sequencing: 0.3.0 requires use-lock/client-php 0.2. Treat the Laravel package and PHP SDK as a coupled pair; schedule upgrades together and verify the 0.2 line has no breaking changes before committing roadmap dates.
Feature unlocking: Any capability added in client-php 0.2 becomes available only after moving to 0.3.0. Use this dependency constraint to sequence dependent features and avoid planning work against an SDK version the wrapper does not yet support.
Risk posture for pre-1.0 dependencies: Both packages are 0.x, which signals API instability. Decide whether to pin exact versions, wrap usage behind an internal interface, or accept periodic upgrade work.
Resourcing: Budget for ongoing dependency review rather than a one-time integration. A thin wrapper is low-effort to adopt but still requires a maintained upgrade path.

When to Consider This Package

Consider it when you are building a Laravel application and want Lock integration to follow Laravel conventions without maintaining your own service provider, configuration, and framework glue.
Consider it when your team can track 0.x releases and absorb minor-version upgrades in use-lock/client-php on a regular cadence.
Consider it when the wrapper’s exposed surface matches your use case and you do not need direct access to SDK internals beyond what the package provides.
Look elsewhere or defer when you require a stable 1.0 API contract, long-term support commitments, or a documented support policy suitable for security review.
Look elsewhere or defer when the integration is small enough to implement directly against use-lock/client-php, or when you cannot yet move to client-php 0.2.
Validate before adoption: Laravel/PHP version compatibility, test coverage, and the client-php 0.2 changelog. These release notes only confirm the SDK constraint, not broader compatibility guarantees.

Executives: “This gives us a Laravel-native Lock integration faster than building and maintaining glue ourselves. It is still pre-1.0, so approve a small ongoing upgrade budget and version pinning — we get speed without taking on uncontrolled dependency risk.”
Engineering: “0.3.0 is primarily a compatibility release: it requires client-php 0.2. Before upgrading, review the 0.2 changelog, run the integration test suite, and confirm no breaking changes in our usage. Keep the wrapper behind an internal boundary so future SDK bumps stay contained.”
