REST has served backend development well for two decades. It is simple, predictable, and every developer on your team understands it. So why are more engineering teams moving toward event-driven architecture? The short answer: synchronous communication does not scale the way modern systems need to scale. And the teams discovering this lesson in production are paying for it in outages, latency spikes, and increasingly brittle service dependencies. The Core Problem with REST at Scale REST is a req
