About the book

Revolutionize the way your organization approaches data with a data mesh! This new decentralized architecture outpaces monolithic lakes and warehouses and can work for a company of any size.

Data Mesh in Action reveals how this groundbreaking architecture looks for both small startups and large enterprises. You'll see a data mesh in action as you explore both an extended case study and multiple real-world examples. As you go, you'll be expertly guided through discussions around socio-technical architecture and domain-driven design with the goal of building a sleek data-as-a-product system.

About the technology

A data mesh decentralizes data ownership and keeps it close to decision makers and domain experts. The results are clear: better description and structuring, easier scaling, and removing the bottlenecks of centralized monolithic data architecture. Best of all, you won't need any new technology; this book shows you how to immediately start implementing a data mesh with flexible processes and organizational change.

• Move from your current data architecture to a data mesh
• Identify data domains, and decompose an organization into smaller, manageable domains
• Set up the central governance and local governance levels over data
• Balance responsibilities between the two levels of governance
• Establish a platform that allows efficient connection of distributed data products and automated governance

Audience

For anyone who works with data. This tool-agnostic book requires no specific software stack or choice of data platform.
