The Real Truth About Event-Driven Architecture

YouTube creator Derek Comartin takes on the hype around event-driven systems, busting myths about loose coupling and limitless scalability. By dissecting “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Truth About Event-Driven Architecture,” he shows that simply swapping to events doesn’t magically remove design-time coupling, and that pumping up throughput can just shift your performance headaches elsewhere.

Along the way you’ll learn why stitching complex workflows across services is usually a red flag, how ordering events can become an epic challenge, and why drawing the right boundaries is key to keeping things sane. Perfect for anyone who’s tired of the “EDA silver bullet” pitch and wants a reality check with practical insights.
