Data quality

The further away from the source the data is, the lower the quality will be.

A line graph showing quality decreasing as distance increases, with the line changing from green to yellow to red.

Each handoff has a cost. Context is lost. Dependencies need to be managed.

Even within a single team, each data transform has the potential to reduce quality. Time is spent. Debt is accrued.

The shorter the distance, the higher the quality.

Want great, practical advice on implementing data mesh, data products and data contracts?

In my weekly newsletter I share with you an original post and links to what's new and cool in the world of data mesh, data products, and data contracts.

I also include a little pun, because why not? 😅
