The Dark Side of Events

Explore the often-overlooked pitfalls of event-driven architectures in this thought-provoking conference talk. Delve into the potential misuses of events that can lead to unintended consequences, including introducing strong coupling, accidental complexity, and architectural vulnerabilities. Learn valuable heuristics to identify and mitigate these issues, ensuring more effective implementation of event-driven patterns. Gain insights from real-world experiences at Internovus over the past 8 years, and discover how to leverage events productively while avoiding common pitfalls. This talk challenges the prevailing positive narrative surrounding events in software development, offering a balanced perspective to help you make events truly effective in your architectural designs.
