CodeOpinion: The Real Truth About Event-Driven Architecture

The Real Truth About Event-Driven Architecture

Event-Driven Architecture often gets hailed as the ultimate way to build loosely coupled, scalable systems, but this overview cuts through the hype. You’ll learn why swapping in events doesn’t magically erase coupling (it just shifts it from design time to runtime), how scaling can simply move your bottlenecks around, and why stitching complex workflows across services is usually a design smell.

On top of that, there’s a practical dive into event ordering and guidance on carving sensible service boundaries so you don’t end up with a tangled mess. Bottom line: EDA has its perks, but you’ve got to watch for hidden pitfalls before you go all-in.
