A decentralized data architecture that organizes data by a specific business domain, providing more ownership to the producers of a given dataset.
Data Mesh shifts responsibility for data from a central data team to the domain teams that produce it. Treating 'data as a product' means each department maintains its own high-quality datasets. This structure can reduce Technical Drag and give enterprise AI models accurate, domain-specific data to train on.
