Think EDA is the magic ticket to loosely coupled, infinitely scalable software? This review of “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Truth About Event-Driven Architecture” cuts through the hype, explaining the real difference between temporal vs design-time coupling, how chasing scalability can just move your bottleneck, and why gluing complex workflows across services feels like a design smell. It even dives into the nitty-gritty of event ordering and building sensible boundaries.
Whether you’re weighing up Kurrent (formerly EventStoreDB) or just trying to build more robust distributed systems, this quick, informal deep-dive will help you spot the pitfalls and use EDA effectively—without falling for common misconceptions.
