+"""Unit of work.
+
+Moved from invenio-records-resources.
+
+Used to group multiple service operations into a single atomic unit. The Unit
+of Work maintains a list of operations and coordinates the commit, indexing and
+task execution.
+
+Note, this is NOT a clean implementation of the UoW design pattern. The
+main purpose of the Unit of Work in Invenio is to coordinate when the database
+transaction commit is called, and ensure tasks that have to run after the
+transcation are executed (such as indexing and running celery tasks).
+
+This ensures that we can group multiple service calls into a single database
+transaction and perform the necessary indexing/task execution afterwards.
+
+**When to use?**
+
+You should use the unit of work instead of running an explicit
+``db.session.commit()`` or ``db.session.rollback()`` in the code. Basically
+any function where you would normally have called a ``db.session.commit()``
+should be changed to something like:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from invenio_db.services.uow import \
+        ModelCommit, unit_of_work,
+
+    @unit_of_work()
+    def create(self, ... , uow=None):
+        # ...
+        uow.register(ModelCommit(model))
+        # ...
+        # Do not use `db.session.commit()` in service.
+
+**When not to use?**
+
+If you're not changing the database state there's no need to use the unit of
+work. Examples include:
+
+- Reading a model
+- Search for models
+
+**How to group multiple service calls?**
+
+In order to group multiple service calls into one atomic operation you can use
+the following pattern:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from invenio_db.services.uow import UnitOfWork
+
+    with UnitOfWork() as uow:
+        # Be careful to always inject "uow" to the service. If not, the
+        # service will create its own unit of work and commit.
+        service.communities.add(..., uow=uow)
+        service.publish(... , uow=uow)
+        uow.commit()
+
+If you're not grouping multiple service calls, then simply just call the
+service method (and it will commit automatically):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    service.publish(...)
+
+**Writing your own operation?**
+
+You can write your own unit of work operation by subclassing the operation
+class and implementing the desired methods:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from invenio_db.services.uow import Operation
+
+    class BulkIndexOp(Operation):
+        def on_commit(self, uow):
+            # ... executed after the database transaction commit ...
