🛡️ Data Governance

Data Mesh

A decentralized sociotechnical approach to sharing, accessing, and managing analytical data in complex and large-scale environments.

Data Mesh is an organizational and architectural shift that challenges the centralized monolithic data lake/warehouse paradigm.

Four Principles


1. Domain-oriented ownership: Teams own their data
2. Data as a product: Treat data with product thinking
3. Self-serve data infrastructure: Platform for domains to build on
4. Federated computational governance: Global standards, local ownership
