The Real Truth About Event-Driven Architecture

Event-Driven Architecture often gets hailed as the holy grail of loose coupling and infinite scalability, but there’s more nuance than meets the eye. You’ll learn the crucial difference between temporal and design-time coupling, why “scaling out” can merely shift your performance bottlenecks elsewhere, and how stitching together complex, cross-service workflows is actually a design smell in disguise.

Beyond that, we dig into the messy world of event ordering and show you how to carve sensible boundaries around your services. The goal? Keep your system both understandable and maintainable, instead of letting events run wild.
