Data Mesh

A decentralized data architecture where domain teams own and serve their data as products for organization-wide use.

Overview

Data mesh is an organizational approach to data management that treats data as a product owned by domain teams rather than centrally managed by a data team. Each domain publishes data products with clear interfaces, quality guarantees, and documentation.

Impact on ML

Data mesh enables ML teams to discover and consume high-quality data products from across the organization. Self-serve data infrastructure and federated governance make it easier to build ML features from diverse data sources while maintaining data quality and compliance.
