## What it is
A Laravel package that adds automatic, self-invalidating caching to Eloquent models and relationships via a trait. It caches query results and flushes relevant cache entries when models are created, updated, or deleted.

## Use cases
- cache eloquent query results automatically
- avoid manual cache invalidation in laravel
- speed up read-heavy laravel pages
- cache model relationships in laravel
- reduce database queries in laravel app
- drop-in caching layer for laravel models

## When to choose
- your laravel app makes many repeated Eloquent queries
- you want caching without manual cache key management
- you need cache entries invalidated automatically on model changes
- you want a drop-in trait-based caching solution

## When to avoid
- you don't use Laravel or Eloquent
- your data changes so frequently that caching offers no benefit
- you need fine-grained custom cache strategies
- you use a cache driver with limited memory and huge datasets

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: caching, orm, database
- domain: web-development, databases, backend, performance
- platform: php
- tags: eloquent, laravel-package, cache-invalidation, query-caching, trait, laravel
