In this episode, Ruben (TheGameDev.Guru) tackles one of Unity's most requested topics: the Data-Oriented Technology Stack, or DOTS. He explains why your CPU spends most of its time waiting instead of working, how the Entity Component System framework flips traditional game architecture on its head, and walks through a practical conversion from MonoBehaviour to DOTS. More importantly, he shares hard-won production lessons about when DOTS will save your project and when it will wreck it.
