Event-driven architecture often promises loosely coupled, infinitely scalable systems, but this review shows those perks can be misleading: temporal vs design-time coupling still binds your services, scalability can simply move bottlenecks elsewhere, and sprawling cross-service workflows are a surefire design smell. The key takeaway? Keep interactions simple and boundaries well-defined to prevent complexity from exploding.
On top of that, the talk dives into real-world event ordering strategies and digs into where EDA truly shines (and where it doesn’t), cutting through the hype with practical tips for building resilient, maintainable event-driven systems.
