Event-driven architecture (EDA) isn’t the magical “set-and-forget” silver bullet it’s often made out to be—true decoupling happens at design time, not just by slapping on an event bus. Sure, you can scale components independently, but you’ll just shift your bottlenecks elsewhere, and stitching together complex, cross-service workflows quickly becomes a design smell.
The video digs into the sticky bits—event ordering, sensible service boundaries and where temporal coupling still sneaks in—and cuts through the hype of “loosely coupled, massively scalable” to show what really works (and what you might be misunderstanding) in the real world.
