Data Mesh

Happy Friday!

Today I write about how we maintain the ability to provide local value through data in large organisations.

Hey, hope you’ve had a good start to June! I’m writing to you from Antwerp, Belgium, where I’m attending the inaugural Data Mesh Live conference. Looking forward to a great day of learning and meeting before my talk later.

Hey all, hope this weeks been a good one.

This is part 2 of my 5 part series on implementing data mesh. See part 1 here.

Hey! Today’s newsletter is the start of a 5-part series I will be writing on implementing a data mesh, which I’m writing in the run up to my Implementing Data Mesh with Data Contracts workshop and my talk at the Data Mesh Live conference.

Hey! Thanks for opening another edition of my newsletter. This week I talk about the investment you need to make when decentralising.

A reader recently asked me: What organisations can benefit from a data mesh?

I’d say almost all organisations can benefit from moving in the direction towards a data mesh, where you are starting to provide self-service tools and start to apply more discipline to your data through data contracts.

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.

It’s allowing others to do things you would usually have to do yourself, without you.

Rather than wait for high-value projects to come in through your ticket system. Go out and find them.
