Data mesh
An approach where teams manage their own data and make it available for others to use
What's it for?
Lets the teams closest to each subject take responsibility for making their data useful to others.
For example…
Marketing publishes a trusted dataset that other teams can reuse
Under a data mesh approach, the payments team owns and publishes trusted payment data while the customer team does the same for customer data.
Think of it like…
Local kitchens serving set menus to the rest of the building, instead of one overloaded canteen
