The project paradox

#event-driven-architecture #paradox in posts

Complexity is the gotcha of event-driven architecture. David Boyne talks about the inevitable complexity of EDAs at part of GOTO's most recent EDA Day.

What was new to me was the The project paradox which is summed up by the question "Why do we take the biggest decisions at a time when we have the least knowledge?".

EDAs ease this because they are evolutionary by nature but can get complex quickly if not managed, which you do by documenting your events and architecture.
