Read Original

This article critically examines the concept of coupling in distributed systems, challenging the oversimplified notion that event-driven architectures inherently create loose coupling. It introduces a series of posts that build a mental model for understanding coupling, control flow (push vs. pull), and their practical implications for system design and evolution.
