EF Core Interceptors allow the insertion of custom behavior at various stages of the data interaction pipeline, enhancing control over database operations. This includes monitoring, logging, modifying, or canceling operations during Saves, Commands, Transactions, and Connections. Extensible through abstract base classes, they enforce business rules and ensure data integrity with minimal boilerplate code. This guide covers setting up interceptors using Docker and Testcontainers, culminating in a practical user registration example with entity auditing and email notifications.
