So, Event-Driven Architecture - another pattern promising to fix everything? We look at an article comparing it to smart elevators whizzing around a building. Sounds dynamic, sounds real-time.

The piece talks about keeping data straight and dealing with blueprints changing mid-construction - familiar headaches.
