As PHP applications grow, they often turn into a tangled mess of business logic mixed with logging, caching, permissions, and API calls.
But there is a clean way to bring structure back — the Proxy Pattern.
In a short, practical article, we break down:
✨ What the Proxy Pattern is (and the 4 types you should know)
✨ How proxies add caching, logging, or access control without touching existing code
✨ A real PHP example using a cached API service
✨ How proxies help refactor legacy monoliths step-by-step
✨ When not to use proxies
If you’re scaling a PHP codebase, this pattern can dramatically improve maintainability, testability, and performance — with zero risk of breaking core logic.
