Data Mesh

A decentralized sociotechnical approach in which domain teams own and serve their data as products on a self-service platform, with federated governance.

Definition

Defined by Zhamak Dehghani, data mesh rests on four principles: domain ownership, data as a product, a self-serve data platform and federated computational governance. It addresses the bottlenecks of a central data team. Dataplex, Fabric domains and Snowflake data sharing support mesh implementations.

Exam tip

Data mesh is about organization and ownership; data fabric is about technology and automated integration.
