Think EDA is a silver bullet for decoupling and scale? Not so fast. You might get looser design-time coupling, but you still pay the price in temporal coupling, and scaling can just relocate your bottlenecks. Layer on complex, cross-service workflows and you’ve got yourself a classic design smell waiting to happen.
The trick is picking sane boundaries and mastering event ordering. Treat tangled orchestrations as code smells, lean into clear contracts, and keep your workflows simple—only then will your event-driven system actually live up to the hype.
