A data mesh seeks to democratize data and empower self-service business intelligence. The principles of a data mesh approach make it simple for domain owners — regardless of their level of data expertise — to use, modify, and store data in a way that makes sense for their specific business needs. It does this by enabling these domain experts to build their own data products with pre-established building blocks. Data mesh transforms untapped, disparate data stores into a connective tissue that’s accessible and usable for the entire organization. And it enables this autonomy while also upkeeping universal governance. This ensures that the data gets used in the correct ways.
