I've seen a lot of posts recently on event driven architectures. (ex. [0]) Even Redis is getting a kafkaesque stream data structure [1]. Does anyone know more about the downsides of these systems? I can imagine as they get bigger, there may be issues with tracing the effects of things that happen from the producer's perspective. Like, what happens when a file get's put into this bucket? You'd have to know about all the consumers and who acts on this particular event and in what way.
