Flow APCu Fallback Cache

This package provides a small wrapper around flows default ApcuBackend which falls back to a given other backend, if the apcu PHP extension is not installed.

Installation

$ composer require j6s/flow-apcu-fallback-cache

Configuration

Neos_Fusion_Content:
  frontend: Neos\Cache\Frontend\StringFrontend
  backend: J6s\ApcuFallbackCache\Backend
  backendOptions:
    fallback:
      backend: Neos\Cache\Backend\PdoBackend
      backendOptions:
        dataSourceName: 'sqlite:%FLOW_PATH_DATA%/Temporary/Neos_Fusion_Content.sqlite'

Why not use MultiBackend?

Flow already ships with a MultiBackend that will initialize multiple cache backend and use the first that does not throw an error. In theory this backend functions very similarly to the backend provided in this package, however it will always initialize all backends, leading to slower response times since the Initialization to the PdoBackend (used in example above) tends to take about 100ms.
