Episode notes
Data Mesh and Warehousing Synergy
- Data mesh neither fully replaces nor abandons data warehouses; it decentralizes data ownership while still requiring integration.
- The resulting architecture is often a federated data warehouse, enabling domain-specific data delivery with maintained quality and governance.
Tie Bonuses to Data Quality
- Make everyone's bonus depend on data quality to emphasize its importance and accountability.
- Without financial incentives, organizations risk ignoring data quality despite claiming it matters.
Need for a Common Data Core
- Successful data mesh requires a common, skinny consolidated data tier to effectively link domain models.
- Direct translations between domains create inefficiency; a shared core data model improves integration and scaling.
