Turns out, EDA hype overlooks that “loose coupling” is more like deferring spaghetti—temporal vs. design-time coupling just changes when you trip over it. Throwing more horsepower at your event bus doesn’t banish bottlenecks; it just shuffles them to a new corner. And those long, cross-service workflows? They’re a red-flag design smell that’ll bite you later.
The real win comes from nailing event ordering without losing your mind and carving sensible, bounded services that actually map to your domain. Consider this your no-fluff reality check on what Event-Driven Architecture really delivers—and where it’ll trip you up.
