Duplicate queries when using Cache

[moerphie]

Hello everyone.
I use the cache at many different points during a request.
Each time it is used, a new (mysql/redis)-query is made, though.

Shouldn't it remain in the memory during the same request to prevent duplicate queries?

// Maybe somewhere in a ServiceProvider
$data = Cache::remember('user-1', now()->addHours(6), function () {
    return User::find(1);
});

... 

// Somewhere in the Controller
$data = Cache::remember('user-1', now()->addHours(6), function () {
    return User::find(1);
});

Query log:

select * from `cache` where `key` in ('user-1')
select * from `cache` where `key` in ('user-1')

It is normal if you set database in your env for cache. We noticed this when we did a fresh install of laravel 12 vs laravel 10.

They can remain in memory in php only if you handle them as variable or cache them as static.
