Agenda
How did we cache before
Symfony 3.1?
Symfony Simple Cache
Real Use Case

In the beginning there was…
Cache before Symfony 3.1
➔ Apc
➔ Memcache / Memcached
➔ Redis
➔ …

Doctrine Cache
doctrine_cache:
class:
DoctrineCommonCacheFilesystemCac
he
arguments:
- '/tmp/doctrine_cache/'
public: true
$cache = $this->get('doctrine_cache');
$feed = $cache->fetch('feed');
if (!$feed) {
$feed = $feedReader->load();
$cache->save('feed', $feed, 60);
}
return $feed;

…then Symfony 3.1 was released

➔ Strict implementation of PSR-6: Caching Interface
➔ Provides adapters for the most common caching
backends
➔ Compatible with every Doctrine Cache adapter

Some of adapters provided:
➔ Apcu Cache adapter
➔ Array Cache adapter
➔ Chain Cache adapter
➔ Doctrine Cache adapter
➔ Filesystem Cache adapter
➔ Memcached Cache adapter
➔ PDO & Doctrine Cache DBAL adapter
➔ Php Array Cache adapter
➔ Proxy Cache adapter
➔ Redis Cache adapter

PSR-6: Caching Interface
PSR6: Caching Interface
➔ Goal
Allow developers to create cache-aware libraries that can be
integrated into existing frameworks and systems without the need
for custom development.
➔ Data
Implementing libraries MUST support all serializable PHP data types,
including: strings, integers, floats, boolean, null, arrays, object

PSR-6: Key Concepts
➔ Pool
Collection of items in a caching system. The pool is a
logical Repository of all items it contains
➔ Item
Single key/value pair within a Pool

PSR-6: CacheItemPoolInterface
public function getItem($key);
public function getItems(array $keys = []);
public function hasItem($key);
public function clear();
public function deleteItem($key);
public function deleteItems(array $keys);
public function save(CacheItemInterface
$item);
public function
saveDeferred(CacheItemInterface $item);
public function commit();

PSR-6: CacheItemInterface
public function getKey();
public function get();
public function isHit();
public function set($value);
public function expiresAt($expiration);
public function expiresAfter($time);

Symfony Cache Component: Key Concepts
➔ Pool
➔ Item
➔ Adapter
SymfonyComponentCacheAdapterAdapterInterface
SymfonyComponentCacheCacheItem
SymfonyComponentCacheAdapter*Adapter

symfony_cache:
class:
SymfonyComponentCacheAdapter
FilesystemAdapter
arguments:
- ''
- 0
- '/tmp/cache/'
public: true
$cache = $this->get('symfony_cache');
$cacheItem = $cache->getItem('feed');
if($cacheItem->isHit()) {
return $cacheItem->get();
}
$cacheItem->set($feed);
$cacheItem->expiresAfter(60);
$cache->save($cacheItem);
return $feed;

symfony_cache:
class:
FilesystemAdapter
arguments:
- ''
- 0
- '/tmp/symfony_cache/'
public: true
}
return $feed;

symfony_cache:
class:
FilesystemAdapter
arguments:
- ''

public: true
}
return $feed;

symfony_cache:
class:

arguments:
- ''

public: true
}
return $feed;

symfony_cache:
class:
FilesystemAdapter
arguments:
- ''

public: true
}
return $feed;

symfony_cache:
class:

arguments:

public: true

return $feed;

public: true

return $feed;

…can we do it in a simpler way?

PSR-16: Common Interface for Caching Libraries
➔ Goal
Simplify PSR-6 Interface for easier use cases
➔ Data
Implementing libraries MUST support all serializable PHP
data types, including: strings, integers, floats, boolean,
null, arrays, object

PSR-16: CacheInterface
public function get($key, $default = null);
public function set($key, $value, $ttl = null);
public function delete($key);
public function clear();
public function getMultiple($keys, $default = null);
public function setMultiple($values, $ttl = null);
public function deleteMultiple($keys);
public function has($key);

➔ Available from Symfony 3.3
➔ Implementation of PSR-16

simple_cache:
class:
SymfonyComponentCacheSimpleF
ilesystemCache
arguments:
- ''
- 0
- '/tmp/cache/'
public: true
$cache = $this->get('simple_cache');
if ($cache->has('feed')) {
return $cache->get('feed');
}
$cache->set('feed', $feed, 60);
return $feed;

simple_cache:

Cache Component Simple Cache

Simple Cache looks simpler than Cache Component.
Why should we use the component?

➔ Tags
➔ ChainCache Adapter
➔ ProxyCache Adapter
➔ Symfony FrameworkBundle Integration

Domain
Real Use Case Scenario
➔ Thousands of unique visitors per day
➔ Millions of page requested per day
➔ Distributed system architecture
➔ Different layers of caching
➔ Performance matters

Domain
➔ Different caching strategies:
- Slow queries with low refresh rate
- Loading data from external APIs with
low rate limit
- CPU intensive tasks
- …

Real use case scenario
cache:
default_redis_provider: "%app_cache_redis_provider%"
default_memcached_provider: "%app_cache_memcached_provider%"
pools:
app.cache.rating:
adapter: cache.adapter.redis
default_lifetime: 21600
app.cache.api:
adapter: cache.adapter.memcached
app.cache.customer:
adapter: cache.app #defaults to cache.adapter.filesystem
public: true
config.yml

Real use case scenario
$cache = $this->get('app.cache.customer');
$cacheItem = $cache->getItem('customer14');
if ($cacheItem->isHit()) {
}
//...
Use the service in a Controller, UseCase, whatever…

Invalidate cache by tags
$cacheItem = $cache->getItem('customer15');
$product = $this->repository->find('customer15');
$cacheItem->set($product);
$cacheItem->tag(['reviews', 'customers', 'customer15']);
$cacheItem->expiresAt(new DateTimeImmutable('tomorrow'));
//...
$cache->invalidateTags(['customer15']);
$cache->invalidateTags(['customers']);
Tag the cached content in order to invalidate easily

Clear cache pools
$ ./bin/console cache:pool:clear <cache pool or clearer 1> [...<cache
pool or clearer N>]
$ ./bin/console cache:pool:clear app.cache.customer
$ ./bin/console cache:pool:clear app.cache.custom_service
Symfony FrameworkBundle provides specific command for clear cache pools.

InstragramFeed
(https://github.com/ideatosrl/instagram-feed)
➔ Load recent media from user
➔ PSR-6 cache decorator
➔ Easily integration with Symfony

InstagramCachedFeed
public function getMedia(int $count = self::MEDIA_COUNT, $maxId = null, $minId = null): array
