Data Mesh

Data Mesh = distributed architectures for data management!

From first-hand experience: The author is the founder of the innovative Data Mesh concept. Moving from traditional data warehouses and data lakes to a decentralized Data Mesh. This book demonstrates how Data Mesh architectures can be implemented both organizationally and technically, with numerous colorful illustrations.

We are at a turning point in how we handle data. Our current data management is no longer sufficient for the complex organizational structures, the increasing number of data sources, and the growing use of artificial intelligence. This practical book introduces you to Data Mesh, a decentralized socio-technical concept based on modern distributed architectures. Data Mesh is a new approach to sourcing, providing, accessing, and managing analytical data that also scales. Zhamak Dehghani guides software architects, developers, and leaders on their journey from a traditional, centralized big data architecture to a distributed, decentralized organizational structure for managing analytical data. Data Mesh treats data as a product, is strongly domain-driven, and aims for a self-serve data platform. The book explains technical migration strategies as well as the organizational changes in team structures, roles, and responsibilities that accompany decentralized architectures.
