Event-driven architecture offers flexibility but can complicate debugging and consistency.
While event-driven architectures, like those using Apache Kafka, allow services to react to events asynchronously, this can complicate tracing issues and ensuring data consistency. For instance, a Java service handling order placements asynchronously might receive events out of order, potentially delaying order processing and complicating error tracking.
