Drupal 8 core has entities like node, user, taxonomy..etc., which helps to process different types of data based on their usage.
Likewise, we can create custom entity to maintain structured data like customer data, inventory data, products data..etc.,
When is Custom entity needed in Drupal 8?
1) When there are requirements for huge number of fields.
2) When exposing data to different applications. The "UUID" generated will be used as reference for each entry to other applications.
