Explain EF Core Interceptors and their use cases.
Updated Apr 28, 2026
Short answer
Interceptors allow you to hook into EF Core operations (like executing a command or saving changes) to inspect, modify, or suppress them.
Deep explanation
They implement interfaces like ISaveChangesInterceptor or IDbCommandInterceptor. They are incredibly powerful for injecting cross-cutting concerns at the database layer, such as automatic auditing, query logging, soft-delete execution, or adding SQL query hints.
