Product Decisions This Supports

Enables implementation of lazy loading for high-impact services (e.g., database-heavy entities) to reduce initial load times and memory usage, directly improving scalability and user experience.
Supports safe adoption of advanced patterns (virtual proxies, interception) without refactoring existing DI container configurations or service definitions, reducing technical debt in legacy systems.
Provides a "buy" solution for runtime proxy generation, eliminating the need to build/maintain custom proxy logic in-house—critical for long-term supported applications where stability is non-negotiable.
Aligns with roadmap priorities for performance optimization in DI-centric projects, especially where deferred initialization is needed for third-party integrations or complex workflows.

When to Consider This Package

✅ Adopt when:
- Your project uses a dependency injection container (Symfony, Laravel, etc.) and requires deferred initialization of heavy services or cross-cutting concerns (e.g., security checks, logging).
- Maintaining legacy codebases where modifying core service classes is impractical but performance improvements are needed.
- Needing a stable, long-term supported solution for proxy generation without frequent breaking changes.
❌ Avoid when:
- Your application doesn't use dependency injection (proxies are less relevant without DI).
- You're building a greenfield project where modern PHP 8.1+ features (e.g., native attributes for lazy loading) or
