MLOps Coffee Sessions #116 with Shawn Kyzer, Principal Data Engineer at Thoughtworks (Spain), Scaling Machine Learning with Data Mesh co-hosted by Adam Sroka.

// Abstract
You can't just get something done by using tools. You need to go much deeper than that and it is very clear that Data Mesh is the same thing. You have to educate the organization about the movement.  

In this session, Shawn broke down the cultural piece of data mesh and how many parallels there are with the MLOps Movement when it comes to the cultural side of MLOps.
