Decoupling in Software Architecture Moves Complexity

This article discusses the concept of decoupling in software architecture, arguing that it does not eliminate complexity but shifts it elsewhere. Using the example of an order button triggering multiple processes, it explains that while decoupling can offer benefits like independent deployability and scalability, it introduces new costs and complexities. The author emphasizes that decoupling is a spectrum and should be applied based on business needs, not as a universal goal. The article includes a sponsor mention for NServiceBus and promotes a YouTube channel, but the core content is a technical analysis of software design trade-offs.
