A reader recently asked me: What organisations can benefit from a data mesh?
The goal of every data architecture has always been to provide accessible data to the organisation.
The whole point of enabling self-serve is autonomy.
Rather than wait for high-value projects to come in through your ticket system.
Many data projects require investment over the long run.
Many organisations have a data catalog as a part of their data stack.
The whole point of data mesh is to make data in an organisation more accessible.
If you’re looking at implementing data contracts or moving towards a data mesh you will hear a lot about shifting left.
Data contracts can be used to implement a data mesh.
When delivering on a large project (data contracts, data mesh, or any large project) you need to realise value early and often.
