Any option to integrate Till’s pro version of this plugin instead of the free one that SlickStack seems to be using? Curious.

We actually discussed this in our Discord server last year…. previously SlickStack was using an object-cache.php that LittleBizzy forked from Pressjitsu:

https://github.com/littlebizzy/object-cache

But Pressjitsu stopped maintaining their code recently and SlickStack changed back to using Till Kruss’ free version of Redis Object Cache:

Redis Object Cache

From a technical view, using the Pro version is no problem. The challenge is that there is no easy way to “tell” SlickStack you want to use a different object cache solution.

what is different free and Pro?

Till says the Pro version is faster performance, a few other minor features.

I think also includes license/support.

He’s also worked a lot on the Predis library, did SlickStack test it

SlickStack uses the PHP extension phpredis

This is unlikely to change in the near future, cuz it’s more standard. I think a member of our Discord server asked Till directly about this and he was told that Predis is only faster in niche cases such as ARM servers.

Honestly several Redis clients for PHP have been “tried” over the years, but phpredis seems to always stick around and is more official really.

And frankly 99% of SlickStack instances probably don’t need Object Cache Pro since they are running on independent cloud servers.

SlickStack is now using Memcached instead of Redis just FYI.

SlickStack has ditched Redis for Memcached object caching
