Answer
The Unit of Work pattern groups operations under one transaction.
DbContext naturally acts as a Unit of Work; calling SaveChangesAsync commits all changes atomically.
Quick Answer
Unit of Work coordinates multiple repository operations in a single transaction. IUnitOfWork holds references to repositories and has SaveChangesAsync(). All operations complete before committing. If any fails, all roll back. In practice with EF Core: DbContext IS the Unit of Work (tracks all changes across DbSets and commits them together). Adding a separate UoW layer over EF Core is often redundant.
