What Is Data Mesh?

Data mesh is a concept that ensures data access, governance, federation, and interoperability across distributed teams and systems. It is a new approach for designing modern data architectures, based on four principles

Domain ownership: Responsibility over modeling and providing important data is distributed to the people closest to it, providing access to the exact data they need, when they need it.

Data as a product: Data is treated as a product like any other, complete with a data product owner, consumer consultations, release cycles, and quality and service-level agreements.

Self-service: Empower consumers to independently search, discover, and consume data products. Data product owners are provided standardized tools for populating and publishing their data product.

Federated governance: This is embodied by a cross-organization team that provides global standards for the formats, modes, and requirements of publishing and using data products. This team must maintain the delicate balance between centralized standards for compatibility and decentralized autonomy for true domain ownership.
