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.

In Data Mesh in Action you will learn how to:

Implement a data mesh in your organization
Turn data into a data product
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

Data Mesh in Action reveals how this groundbreaking architecture looks for both small startups and large enterprises. You won’t need any new technology—this book shows you how to start implementing a data mesh with flexible processes and organizational change. You’ll 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. Plus, dozens of workshop techniques for both in-person and remote meetings help you onboard colleagues and drive a successful transition.

The data mesh is a decentralization paradigm. It decentralizes the ownership of data, its transformation into information, as well as its serving. It aims to increase the value extraction from data by removing bottlenecks in the data value stream by these means. The data mesh paradigm is disrupting the data space. Large and small companies are racing to showcase their data mesh–like journey all over the internet. It’s becoming the new thing to try out for any company that wants to extract more value from its data. This book describes the data mesh paradigm as a socio-technical architecture. We will provide you with conceptual tools, including, but not limited to, the key data mesh principles and boots-on-the-ground insights and examples. This book is not meant to be a comprehensive theoretical study but offers you the practical guidance necessary to get set up.

About the technology
Business increasingly relies on efficiently storing and accessing large volumes of data. The data mesh is a new way to decentralize data management that radically improves security and discoverability. A well-designed data mesh simplifies self-service data consumption and reduces the bottlenecks created by monolithic data architectures.

About the book
Data Mesh in Action teaches you pragmatic ways to decentralize your data and organize it into an effective data mesh. You’ll start by building a minimum viable data product, which you’ll expand into a self-service data platform, chapter-by-chapter. You’ll love the book’s unique “sliders” that adjust the mesh to meet your specific needs. You’ll also learn processes and leadership techniques that will change the way you and your colleagues think about data.
