## What it is
Doctrine Cache is a PHP caching library providing a common Cache interface with drivers for Redis, Memcache, APCu, MongoDB, filesystem, and more. It is deprecated; the 2.x series only ships interfaces for backward compatibility, and users are directed to PSR-6/PSR-16 libraries like symfony/cache.

## Use cases
- cache data in PHP with redis or memcache
- wrap a PSR-6 cache pool for Doctrine compatibility
- cache ORM query results in PHP
- in-memory array cache for single-process PHP apps
- chain multiple cache backends with fallback

## When to choose
- maintaining legacy code that depends on the Doctrine Cache interface
- you need the DoctrineProvider wrapper to adapt PSR-6 pools to Doctrine's interface

## When to avoid
- starting a new PHP project - use a PSR-6 or PSR-16 cache library like symfony/cache instead
- you need actively maintained cache drivers - the last driver release was 1.11

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: caching
- domain: backend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: php
- tags: psr-6, psr-16, deprecated, doctrine, redis, memcache, apcu
