Doctrine lazy objects used to rely on generated proxy classes that extended your entities. PHP 8.4 makes them native. Same lazy-loading magic - fewer workarounds - and your entities can finally be "final". 🎉 See how lazy objects work 👉 youtu.be/X0HhrOnkGlc
youtu.beDoctrine Native Lazy Objects ExplainedDoctrine uses lazy objects to avoid loading related entities until you actually need their data.

The practical payoff? Your relationships still load only when accessed, but your entities can finally be marked as final.
