The Real Truth About Event-Driven Architecture
EDA isn’t the silver bullet it’s often made out to be—you might still end up with hidden coupling or just move your performance bottleneck elsewhere. While it promises loose coupling and infinite scalability, in reality you’ve got to watch out for temporal vs. design-time coupling and over-engineered cross-service workflows that add more complexity than they solve.
Beyond that, ordering events in distributed systems is a headache, so defining clear service boundaries becomes crucial. The talk dives into why chaining too many services is a design smell and how to set sensible event boundaries so your architecture doesn’t collapse under its own “scalable” weight.
