Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) gets rave reviews for loose coupling and “infinite” scalability, but it often just swaps design-time coupling for temporal coupling—and can merely shift your bottleneck elsewhere. Lean too hard on cross-service workflows and you’ll end up with a big, tangled web that’s a nightmare to maintain.
The real win comes from drawing clear boundaries, understanding your event ordering needs and keeping workflows simple. In short, EDA isn’t a silver bullet—use it wisely, or you’ll just be chasing new headaches instead of solving old ones.
