Magento 2 Design Patterns: Proxies
Proxy classes look like boilerplate. They are lazy loading.
You've seen a class ending in Proxy referenced in di.xml and moved on without knowing why it was there, or whether you'd ever need to write one yourself.
That's because a proxy defers construction of an expensive dependency until it's actually called, and Magento generates the proxy class for you, which makes it invisible until the one time you need to write one by hand, and the generated code looks like nothing you've written before.
This course builds and wires a proxy class from a real performance problem.
The slow dependency first, then the proxy interface, then the di.xml wiring, then the measured performance difference. Each lesson ends with a benchmark you can run yourself.
This is specialized topics, step 3. Magento Code That Sucks is next, because a proxy is one fix among many for the messy code that shows up in real projects. It is also included in the University.
You leave able to spot when a proxy is the right tool, and to build one without guessing at the syntax.
