# Singleton
**THIS IS CONSIDERED TO BE AN ANTI-PATTERN! FOR BETTER TESTABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY USE DEPENDENCY INJECTION!**
## Purpose
To have only one instance of this object in the application that will handle all calls.
## Examples
* DB Connector
* Logger (may also be a Multiton if there are many log files for several purposes)
* Lock file for the application (there is only one in the filesystem ...)
