    # ECK, Paragraphs, Blocks, and Custom Entities

    ## ECK
    - best suited for custom relational entities
    - each ECK entity stands on its own
    - does not support translation (yet)
    - Use Inline Entity Form and Inline Entity Form Preview for best authoring experience.

    ## Paragraphs
    - best suited for enhancing content entry on individual entities
    - treated as an extension of existing entities
    - does support translation
    - does not support content reuse

    ## Blocks
    - Good fit for creating a handful of reusable entities

    ## Custom entities
    - alternative to ECK
    - can support translation and revisions
    - can be scaffolded by drupal console
