EF Core Mapping: Dark Magic (Here Is Why)

A deep dive into EF Core 10's mapping capabilities, showing how to persist rich domain models with complex types, value objects, and strongly-typed IDs without compromising domain integrity. Covers configuring value converters, nested complex properties, and private parameterless constructors for EF Core reconstruction. Demonstrates how EF Core translates C# queries on nested domain objects — including custom comparison operators — into correct SQL, enabling domain-centric design without sacrificing query power.
