Does PowerGrid support CACHE_STORE=database? Cache not working with database driver

[kishan-kombee]

Hi team,

I have a question regarding PowerGrid’s cache functionality.
When I use Redis:
CACHE_STORE=redis
everything works correctly — caching, prefix, custom tags, etc.
However, when I switch to:
CACHE_STORE=database
PowerGrid caching stops working completely. No errors are shown, but cached data is never stored or retrieved.

My PowerGrid Cache Configuration

PowerGrid::cache()
    ->ttl(300)
    ->prefix((Auth::id() ?? 'guest') . '_')
    ->customTag('powergrid-user-users');

My Environment

Laravel 12.x
PHP 8.3
PowerGrid ^6.6

Does PowerGrid officially support the Laravel database cache driver?

Would appreciate clarity on whether the database cache driver is supported and if this behavior is expected.

Thanks!

Hi team,

Just following up on the question above to check if there’s any update or confirmation on this.

Specifically, I’d like to understand whether PowerGrid officially supports Laravel’s database cache driver, or if Redis (or other drivers) are required for caching to work correctly.

At the moment, caching works as expected with CACHE_STORE=redis, but completely stops working with CACHE_STORE=database without any errors, so I want to confirm if this behavior is expected or a potential issue.

Any clarification would be really helpful.
Thanks again for your time and support!
