EntityFrameworkCore.Parallel
This extension to Entity Framework Core adds a Set<TContext, TEntity>() method to IDbContextFactory<TContext>.
For easy use it also adds a Parallel() method to IDbContextFactory<TContext> and a Set<TEntity>() method to IDbContextFactory<DbContext>.
This allows you to easily execute multiple queries in parallel without the need to write complex code, or a lot of using blocks or statements.
You can stick to all your known methods from IQueryable<TEntity>.
As the context is disposed after your query is executed, all results will obviously not be tracked and disconnected from any DbContext.
How to use
In your Program.cs, add a DbContextFactory. If you want a pooled one, or not is up to you.
builder.Services.AddPooledDbContextFactory<OrderContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(@"Server=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb;Database=OrderTest"));
In your business class, inject an IDbContextFactory<TContext> and use it like this
var ordersFromDb = await _factory.Parallel().Set<Order>().Where(o => o.Id > 3).ToListAsync(cancellationToken);
Or like this
var ordersFromDb = await _factory.Set<MyContext, Order>().Where(o => o.Id > 3).ToListAsync(cancellationToken);
Migration from Entity Framework Core 5 to 6
Since Entity Framework Core 6, IDbContextFactory<TContext> is no longer covariant (TContext is not marked with the out keyword).
Because of that, the following code does no longer work.
var ordersFromDb = await _factory.Set<Order>().Where(o => o.Id > 3).ToListAsync();
See the How to use section for two possibilities that you can use instead. If you want some background information, have a look at https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/26630
