Php Output Cache

Manifesto

What is POC?

POC is an Output Caching framework written for PHP.

Why would you use POC?

  • Because it saves you time and money… A LOT!
  • It adds extra protection to your application.
  • It enhances the performance of your software.
  • It’s built on the shoulders of giants by using mature open source components.
  • It uses the latest inventions of the PHP ecosystem.
  • It solves complex problems in an easy way.
  • It’s Cloud ready.
  • It enhances your application’s SEO value.
  • POC makes your software robust and increases its availability.
  • POC is open source.

POC is for Developers

  • The system is compatible with all your applications that support PHP 5.3 or above.
  • POC provides an easy to use tool to solve performance problems.
  • It makes cache implementation as flexible as possible.
  • POC is “hot pluggable” to any system. Applying it to existing projects requires minimal (in most cases only one line) modification of your existing code.
  • It can be easily turned on/off.
  • Installation and basic setup can be done in 5 minutes.
  • Caching should not make your code more complex, and POC lives up to this expectation.
  • We made it scalable to be able to run from a single machine configuration to any complex webfarms.
  • We built it on Symfony2 components to increase the projects stability and decrease its complexity.
  • Easy and custom configuration that meets your needs.
  • It is continously integrated so you can use latest builds without worrying much about stability.
  • Does not hurt your current logic andexisting infrastructure, so you don’t have to rewrite anything in your code, neither buy new hardware.
  • POC is plugin based.

POC is for the business

  • Implementing a good caching solution for you site is crucial for performance but it can take a lot of development time. This software helps you reduce this time significantly.
  • The faster your site the higher search engine ranking it gets.
  • POC helps you reduce the hardware needed to run your web applications and saves you money.

POC is for free

  • POC is licensed under Apache 2.0 license.
  • Anyone can modify and even sell it without the author’s approval.

POC is for the environment

  • As more and more PHP servers operate in the world proper caching becomes more important because it can save energy and reduce waste.
  • POC uses way less resources than a database backed PHP page generation in real time so you not only save time but you save the resources of the planet as well by using proper caching.

What POC is not?

POC is not a silver bullet for all your PHP performance problems, but the second best thing to it.
