> Мы, участники Laminas, родились и живем в разных странах. У многих из нас есть друзья, родственники и коллеги как в России, так и в Украине. Некоторые из нас родились в России. Некоторые из нас живут в России. У некоторых бабушки и дедушки сражались с фашистами во Второй мировой войне. Здесь никто не поддерживает фашизм.
>
> У одного из нас есть украинская родственница, которая спаслась из дома вместе с сыном. Поезд задержался из-за бомбежки на дороге впереди. У нас есть друзья, которые прячутся в бомбоубежищах. Мы с тревогой ждем весточки от них после воздушных налетов, которые беспорядочно наносят удары и попадают по больницам, школам, детским садам и домам. Мы не берем это из каких-либо СМИ. Мы наблюдаем это напрямую.

> One team member has a Ukrainian relative who fled her home with her son. The train was delayed due to bombing on the road ahead. We have friends who are hiding in bomb shelters. We anxiously follow up on them after the air raids, which indiscriminately fire at hospitals, schools, kindergartens and houses. We're not taking this from any media. These are our actual experiences.

`Laminas\Cache` provides a general cache system for PHP. The `Laminas\Cache` component is able to cache different patterns (class, object, output, etc) using different storage adapters (DB, File, Memcache, etc).

- File issues at
- Documentation is at

Standalone
----------

[](#standalone)

If this component is used without `laminas-mvc` or `mezzio`, a PSR-11 container to fetch services, adapters, plugins, etc. is needed.

The easiest way would be to use [laminas-config-aggregator](https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-config-aggregator/) along with [laminas-servicemanager](https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-servicemanager/).

```
use Laminas\Cache\ConfigProvider;
use Laminas\Cache\Service\StorageAdapterFactoryInterface;
use Laminas\Cache\Storage\Adapter\Memory;
use Laminas\ConfigAggregator\ConfigAggregator;
use Laminas\ServiceManager\ServiceManager;

$config = (new ConfigAggregator([
    ConfigProvider::class,
]))->getMergedConfig();

$dependencies = $config['dependencies'];

$container = new ServiceManager($dependencies);

/** @var StorageAdapterFactoryInterface $storageFactory */
$storageFactory = $container->get(StorageAdapterFactoryInterface::class);

$storage = $storageFactory->create(Memory::class);

$storage->setItem('foo', 'bar');
```

Benchmarks
----------

[](#benchmarks)

We provide scripts for benchmarking laminas-cache using the [PHPBench](https://github.com/phpbench/phpbench) framework; these can be found in the `benchmark/` directory of each storage adapter.

To execute the benchmarks you can run the following command:

```
$ vendor/bin/phpbench run --report=aggregate
```
