What is Data Mesh? Simply stated it's a way how to organize data management in a way that's scalable and allows organizations to evolve their data management quickly and effectively. It looks a lot like API management...
With @SimonHarrer of INNOQ, creator of Data Mesh Manager, we talk about the four pillars of data mesh, team structures for data mesh, and we also look at a concrete example. Along the way, we explore the many similarities with the API space, both in the main pillars as well as in terms of team structures.
Data Mesh at this level is a concept of how to organize data management in a decentralized way. It does not imply any specific technologies or technical architectures. To explore further, here are two resources about architecture and governance:

👉 Data Mesh Governance by Example: Examples for guiding values, an operating model, and global policies - https://www.datamesh-governance.com/
