TYPO3 Extension with Graceful Cache Backends
============================================

[](#typo3-extension-with-graceful-cache-backends)

We don't want our websites to be down because the cache backend used, e.g. "redis" or "memcached" has a temporary issue. Instead, the page should be loaded, but trigger warnings and errors and such, but still render a page without active caches.

For this reason, we provide Cache Backends which simply catch all Exceptions.

We use this for High Availability projects, where a Redis sentinel cluster is not available but a Redis service is running on each application server to ensure that TYPO3 does never throw a 50x HTTP error because of a caching issue.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

When running TYPO3 in Composer Mode `composer req b13/graceful-cache` or download the extension "graceful\_cache" via the Extension Manager from extensions.typo3.org.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Use this in your LocalConfiguration.php or AdditionalConfiguration.php to e.g. reconfigure the "pages" Cache (or "cache\_pages" prior to TYPO3 v10) to run with the graceful Redis Cache Backend:

```
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['caching']['cacheConfigurations']['pages']['backend'] = \B13\GracefulCache\Backend\RedisCacheBackend::class;

```

Or configure with Memcached Cache Backend:

```
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['caching']['cacheConfigurations']['pages']['backend'] = \B13\GracefulCache\Backend\MemcachedCacheBackend::class;

```
