Flysystem
A PHP file storage abstraction library providing a unified interface for local and remote filesystems.
What is Flysystem?
Flysystem is a file storage library for PHP that provides a single, unified interface to interact with many types of filesystems, from local storage to cloud services like AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage. It solves the problem of vendor lock-in by abstracting storage complexities, allowing developers to switch between storage solutions without changing their application code. The library ensures a consistent experience for file operations across different storage backends through its adapter-based architecture.
PHP developers building applications that require file storage across multiple environments or platforms, such as web applications needing to support local development, FTP, SFTP, and cloud storage like AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. It is also suitable for teams aiming to future-proof their code against changes in storage infrastructure.
Developers choose Flysystem over alternatives because it offers a standardized API that decouples application logic from specific storage implementations, reducing maintenance overhead and enhancing portability. Its extensible adapter architecture supports a wide range of backends out-of-the-box and allows for custom adapters, providing flexibility without sacrificing consistency.
