Data Mesh Content Unzipped

Data Mesh: A New Hope For Data

Author: Stan Christiaens, Collibra

An established data catalog vendor’s musings on Data Mesh. Interesting to note that the implications of decentralized data ownership to the domains were duly noted without specific mention of decentralized metadata ownership which comes part and parcel with the resulting data products. Presumably, a good future article topic for data catalog vendors.

We need better data security architectures for Data Mesh

Author: Elliot West

Makes the case that access control implementations are inadequate as it stands for monolithic data architectures let alone Data Mesh. However, this is seen as an opportunity to rethink the data access control layer.

The Data Mesh and the Hub-Spoke: A Macro Pattern for Scaling Analytics

Author: Pradeep Menon

Governance as a domain? Its a mental exercise and somehow seems counter to federated computational governance. You decide. Comments welcome.

Upcoming Meetups / Zhamak Stuff

Data Mesh: an Architectural Deep Dive

Zhamak offers a fast-paced build up from problem statement to Data Mesh concepts and on to applied usage therein that begins to address many of those lingering questions after reading the Martin Fowler website articles and saying “yes, but how do I …?”.

Data Pipelines & Data Mesh: Where We Are and What the Future Looks Like

Zhamak and fellow partipants offer low to high level perspectives on the problems of the day regarding the current art of data pipelines, what challenges they pose, and how we move forward using data mesh principles.
