EfCore.Boost <img src="https://github.com/Svakinn/EfCoreBoost/blob/main/src/EfCoreBoost/icon.png" width="32" height="32" />

A disciplined Unit of Work + Repository + Routine + Model Building layer for Entity Framework Core that makes database access structured, portable, and predictable across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

EfCore.Boost does not replace Entity Framework Core.
EF Core remains your ORM.

EfCore.Boost strengthens how EF Core is used in real-world, long-lived systems.

What EfCore.Boost Is

EfCore.Boost is an architectural extension layer on top of EF Core.

It introduces a consistent and disciplined data-access model that helps teams:

  • enforce clear boundaries around database access\
  • keep behavior predictable across database providers\
  • treat views and routines as first-class citizens\
  • support high-performance bulk ingestion\
  • expose safe and powerful OData queries\
  • maintain long-term portability

It is designed for systems that must grow without turning data-access into chaos.

What EfCore.Boost Is Not

  • Not a replacement ORM\
  • Not a code generator\
  • Not a micro-ORM\
  • Not a "magic performance switch"

EfCore.Boost is about architecture, discipline, and consistency.

Architectural Model (at a glance)

Application
→ Unit of Work (UOW)
→ Repositories & Routines
→ EF Core
→ Database

Key ideas:

  • Applications talk to UOW, not DbContext\
  • Repositories expose tables and views\
  • Routines expose procedures and functions\
  • Provider differences are absorbed by conventions

This creates a stable and testable data-access boundary.

Why EfCore.Boost Exists

As systems grow, direct DbContext usage tends to spread everywhere:

  • inconsistent patterns\
  • duplicated logic\
  • provider-specific hacks\
  • fragile migrations\
  • unclear transaction boundaries

EfCore.Boost centralizes these concerns into a single, coherent layer.

You model intent in C#.
EfCore.Boost applies provider-correct behavior.

Model Building & Cross-Provider Conventions

EfCore.Boost establishes one uniform model-building contract across providers.

Instead of hand-tuning mapping rules per database, you define intent once and let EfCore.Boost apply provider-specific behavior.

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.ApplyEfBoostConventions(this, "log");
}

From that point:

  • naming and quoting are normalized\
  • identity/sequence behavior is handled\
  • string and datetime quirks are corrected\
  • routines and views follow a consistent pattern

The model remains portable.
