# Unity ECS Patterns
Production patterns for Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS) including Entity Component System, Job System, and Burst Compiler.
## When to Use This Skill
- Building high-performance Unity games
- Managing thousands of entities efficiently
- Implementing data-oriented game systems
- Optimizing CPU-bound game logic
- Converting OOP game code to ECS
- Using Jobs and Burst for parallelization
## Core Concepts
