Use Phalcon’s service and factory patterns (Phalcon\Di\Service and Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault) to encapsulate logic for creating and managing objects across your application.

Phalcon uses its autoloader to load classes efficiently. Organize your code into logical directories (controllers, models, etc.) and register them with the autoloader for optimal performance.

Phalcon’s DI container (Phalcon\Di) is powerful and central to managing components and services in your application. Leverage DI to cleanly manage dependencies and promote modular, testable code.

Phalcon is unique because it’s implemented as a C-extension for PHP rather than being purely PHP-based. This gives it significant performance advantages but also means you need to be aware of its specific installation and configuration requirements.
