002 - The Challenges of building a Self-serve Data Platform

Uncovering a Data Mesh Self-Serve Data Platform.

This week I’m joined by Sandeep from Dojo. We discuss how Dojo is implementing a data mesh, first conceptualised by Zhamak Dehghni in her book “Delivering Data-driven Value at Scale”

Dojo’s self-serve platform empowers their distributed domains to own their data with the goal of increasing the velocity and quality of data products.

Dojos platform handles…

- £50 BILLION in transaction

- 100 million events

- 300k files of 15 different types

EVERY SINGLE DAY!
