Entity Framework Extensions by ZZZ Projects provides bulk operation methods that dramatically outperform standard EF Core SaveChanges for large datasets. Benchmarks on 10,000 records against PostgreSQL show BulkInsert running 16× faster, BulkInsertOptimized up to 39× faster, BulkUpdate 15× faster, BulkDelete 26× faster, and BulkMerge 18× faster. The library offers BulkInsertAsync, BulkUpdateAsync, BulkDeleteAsync, BulkMergeAsync (upsert), BulkSynchronizeAsync (upsert + delete missing), and BulkSaveChangesAsync as a drop-in SaveChanges replacement. It supports SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SQLite. A free trial is available but a commercial license is required for production use.
