TL;DR

Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) isn’t a silver bullet—while it promises loose coupling and infinite scalability, you can swap one bottleneck for another (temporal vs. design-time coupling) and inadvertently bake complexity into cross-service workflows.

You’ll also wrestle with event ordering and need to draw clear boundaries to avoid turning your system into a tangled mess. In short: EDA’s powerful, but only if you respect its quirks and keep your design lean.
