The Proxy pattern is used in software development to create a placeholder for an object. The object is not actually created until the information that the object holds is required. This extra layer of abstraction saves time when a program must access a database or a disk for the information.

If the information is never required, the database/disk will never be queried and the system will run more efficiently with less slowdowns for unnecessary materializations.
