Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) isn’t a magic ticket to perfectly loose coupling or infinite scalability—instead, it’s all about understanding the difference between temporal vs. design-time coupling, recognizing that scaling can just shift your bottlenecks, and spotting when sprawling workflows across services are actually a design smell.
The real secret sauce? Draw clear boundaries, get serious about event ordering, and treat EDA as a practical toolbox rather than a silver bullet. Nail those things, and you’ll end up with a system that’s both powerful and maintainable—no smoke and mirrors required.
