Java: Observer Pattern
Answer
Trade-offs include complexity and potential performance costs.
While the Observer Pattern improves decoupling, it can introduce complexity and performance issues if not managed properly, especially with many observers. In a high-traffic e-commerce system, excessive notifications might burden the system, requiring careful design and possible optimizations like event filtering or batching.
