Chain of Responsibility: Decoupling Handlers for Flexible Software
About this episode
From button taps on your iPhone to complex event flows, this episode breaks down the Chain of Responsibility design pattern. Learn how a chain of handlers can decide who processes a request at runtime, keeping senders agnostic of receivers and enabling dynamic, extensible systems. We’ll look at Cocoa’s responder chain as a concrete example, discuss how multiple handlers can engage, and explore implications for future AI-driven, decentralized software architectures. Plus practical tips for architects and developers.
