Decoupling

As explained in Grokking Concurrency

Decoupling is a design technique that separates components or responsibilities to reduce their dependencies on one another.

Decoupling separates unrelated components while grouping related code, organizing complex systems into simpler units that communicate. section 1.3

Concurrency can serve as a decoupling strategy: dividing functionality among modules or units of concurrency separates what gets done from when. This can make components more maintainable and reduce system complexity. section 1.3

How Grokking Concurrency covers it

How deep it goes
Defines component organization and separates what gets done from when, without detailing implementation steps.
What you can do after
Understand how dividing complex problems into linked components can reduce complexity.
How it connects
Connects decoupling with concurrency, divide and conquer, scalability, and loosely coupled systems.
