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
1. ECS vs OOP
| Aspect | Traditional OOP | ECS/DOTS |
|---|---|---|
| Data layout | Object-oriented | Data-oriented |
| Memory | Scattered | Contiguous |
| Processing | Per-object | Batched |
| Scaling | Poor with count | Linear scaling |
| Best for | Complex behaviors | Mass simulation |
2. DOTS Components
Entity: Lightweight ID (no data)
Component: Pure data (no behavior)
System: Logic that processes components
World: Container for entities
Archetype: Unique combination of components
Chunk: Memory block for same-archetype entities

Best Practices
Do's
- Use ISystem over SystemBase - Better performance
- Burst compile everything - Massive speedup
- Batch structural changes - Use ECB
- Profile with Profiler - Identify bottlenecks
- Use Aspects - Clean component grouping
Don'ts
- Don't use managed types - Breaks Burst
- Don't structural change in jobs - Use ECB
- Don't over-architect - Start simple
- Don't ignore chunk utilization - Group similar entities
- Don't forget disposal - Native collections leak
