Elasticache Laravel

AWS Elasticache Session and Cache Drivers for Laravel (Memcached specifically)

Setup

This package requires the memcached extension for PHP. Please see this link for installation instructions.

With composer, simply add "atyagi/elasticache-laravel": "dev-master" to your composer.json.

Once composer update is ran, add

'Atyagi\Elasticache\ElasticacheServiceProvider',

to the providers array in app/config.php.

At this point, inside of app/session.php and app/cache.php, you can use elasticache as a valid driver.

Versions

• dev-master -- Stable release version
• dev-dev -- Generally stable, but still the main development branch
• tags -- see Packagist (https://packagist.org/packages/atyagi/elasticache-laravel) for specific tagged versions. Most releases to master get tagged.

Configuration

All configuration lives within app/session.php and app/cache.php. The key ones are below:

Session.php

• lifetime -- the session lifetime within the Memcached environment
• cookie -- this is the prefix for the session ID to prevent clashing

Cache.php

• memcached -- follow the Laravel defaults for host/port information
