Event-driven architecture benefits - reducing coordination overhead in integrations

Event-Driven Architecture - Eliminating Integration Pain

MVP technical debt trap - hidden interest rates on quick launches

Why MVP Thinking Creates Permanent Debt

Irreversible architecture decisions - recognizing one-way doors in system design

The architecture decisions you can't reverse

Integration architecture mistakes - self-inflicted pain from poor API design

Most integration pain is self-inflicted

System dependencies and delivery speed - hidden drags on data team velocity

Dependencies are the hidden drag for your delivery speed

Architecture vs velocity - why faster delivery cannot fix poor foundations

You cannot outrun poor architecture by accelerating delivery

Integration architecture reality - people and process over APIs and code

Your real integration layer isn't code
