Hey there! I'm currently working on a CLI tool to deploy WordPress apps to DigitalOcean. Check it out! It's free and open source.
You can temporarily disable object caching in WordPress by calling:
wp_suspend_cache_addition( true );
Ref. You can turn addition back on by passing false as the only argument. There’s a similar approach for object cache invalidation. However, there’s a big chance persistent object caching plugins won’t implement these functions like WordPress built-in object caching does, so they might be unreliable if working in an unknown environment.
