Could there be a hotter topic than Data Mesh these days? Some say it’s still largely theoretical, but the promise of data mesh does make sense: Give discrete groups within an organization dominion over their own data sets, which would be housed within a broader data platform that enables self-service development. A key aspect of the vision is to build data products that are designed and managed by focused departmental teams. Ideally, computational power (and cost) would be carved out according to business value. Sound intriguing?
