Host Scott Hirleman gives some helpful context around 3 separate data mesh topics:

1. Why Data Virtualization is not a good fit for creating and managing your data products in data mesh
2. A reply to a wonderful article by Matthew Darwin (link below) asking if we can keep our existing data platform / architecture and only decentralize our data ownership - surprise, surprise, Scott argues that it isn't that simple
3. Introducing the concept of a speculative data product to solicit feedback in a bit of internal data product marketing
