The Real Truth About Event-Driven Architecture

This piece takes a reality-check approach to the EDA hype train—loose coupling isn’t magic, and you really need to understand the difference between temporal vs. design-time coupling. It also reminds you that “scalable” doesn’t always mean “faster”; sometimes it just moves the bottleneck elsewhere.

On top of that, it flags overly complex workflows spread across services as a serious design smell and digs into the nitty-gritty of event ordering and boundary definition, so you can build an event-driven system that actually makes sense.
