Data Mesh Learning Community

??? Podcast alert - Data Mesh meets Domain Driven Design! I had a great and interesting conversation with Mathias Verraes from Aardling and podcast host Rowin Heymans, on why Data Mesh is more relevant than ever and the many similarities with Domain Driven Design. We also went into what to expect at Data Mesh Live and Domain-Driven Design Europe in June this year.

Looking forward to speak at the Data Mesh Live conference about automating data governance with generative AI together with Prof. Dr. Arif Wider. It will be awesome. ?? Abstract: The fourth pillar of Data Mesh, federated computational governance, is the hardest to implement as it must become easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing. Data governance is crucial for a successful data mesh implementation. Governance policies are written by governance people in prose, and often include texts from lawyers like the GDPR, privacy statements, license agreements, etc. We propose an approach using AI to implement federated computation governance by letting governance experts write policies in natural language, and AI to monitor their effectiveness against metadata. We show example use cases such as ensuring that fields are correctly marked as PII, coding guidelines are adhered to, and that when requesting access to data the purpose is verified. We present a partial implementation via the free self-hosted Community Edition of the Data Mesh Manager and OpenAI ChatGPT-4o. And we give an outlook on the future of data governance.

7 days until our early-bird pricing ends! Expect talks on data products, federated governance, data domain ownership, data contracts and much more. https://buff.ly/nLvu4pd

Meet the #DataMesh community at the 5th Data Mesh Belgium Meetup later this year! You can combine it with attending the Data Mesh Live conference!

The early-bird pricing for Data Mesh Live is ending on March 14. The conference will be *the* gathering for data practitioners and leaders interested in this new approach to managing data at scale. https://buff.ly/nLvu4pd

???I was honoured to be a guest on the Data Product Management in Action podcast to have an interesting discussion with Michael Toland on Data Mesh. We went into the fact that product management is key for the self-service platform itself in a data mesh journey. Exploring the different personas, potential metrics to measure cognitive load, where architecture meets product management, etc proved to be very insightfull. Thx Michael Toland for having me. cc Data Mesh Learning Community Data Mesh Live ACA Group Soda Jean-Georges Perrin Eric Broda Ole Olesen-Bagneux Jen Tedrow Andrew Jones Zhamak Dehghani Prof. Dr. Arif Wider Kiran Prakash Danilo Sato Kinda El Maarry, Ph.D. Karin H?kansson J?rg Schad , Ph.D. Andrew Sharp Wannes Rosiers Amy Raygada amongst others.

Data Mesh Live is shaping up to be an exciting event with a diverse program, carefully curated from a wealth of high-quality submissions. Looking forward to hosting it and bringing the community together in person! We aimed to cover multiple key aspects of a #DataMesh journey, from discovering and designing Data as a Product to making federated governance invisible yet effective—automated and enhanced through data contracts and AI. We will explore how knowledge graphs contextualize data products, the importance of driving domain ownership, and bridging the gap between concept and actual implementation. In short, actionable insights for every core principle of Data Mesh. ?? Right in front of the conference we start with full-day workshops - by Andrew Jones on "Implementing a Data Mesh with Data Contracts" - by Jacek Majchrzak on "Data Mesh in Action". ??? At the conference we will have - J?rg Schad , Ph.D. with a keynote on "Data Mesh Grand Challenges - Closing the gap between concept, implementation, and business impact" - Kiran Prakash on "What We Talk About When We Talk About Data Products" - Karin H?kansson on "The invisible governance" - Dr. Simon Harrer and Prof. Dr. Arif Wider on "Federated Computational Governance with AI" - Kinda El Maarry, PhD on "Productizing Data along the Value Chain" - Emma Houben on "From kitchen to catalog: applying the chef’s discipline to data products" - Andrea Gioia on "Information Architecture Recommoning: How Standardization Enables Differentiation" - Prof. Dr. Arif Wider on "Automating Federated Data Governance With Sharer-Driven Data Contracts" - Andrew Jones and Jean-Georges Perrin on "Why data contracts are the foundations of a data mesh" - Rachel Barton on "Driving business engagement through Domain ownership" - Jochen Christ and Dr. Simon Harrer with a hands-on lab on "Data Contract Workshop using Open Source Tooling" Definitely worth attending! I'm looking forward to this. Join me in June this year at the first Data Mesh Live conference in Antwerp, Belgium. It is co-located with Domain-Driven Design Europe. Get your Tickets (links in first comment)! The full program including abstracts can be found through the links in the first comment. Keep an eye on socials from Data Mesh Live the next months for more information. Thanks to our sponsors Aardling and ACA Group and media partners Data Mesh Learning Community and Bitol. Thanks to everyone who have submitted their qualitative talk proposals, even if not accepted due to hard choices we had to make, much appreciated!

The initial buzz around Data Mesh spread quickly, and soon, written experience reports and books followed. Now, it’s time for the community to gather in person to share and unpack these learnings. A good conference can take a series of theoretical and abstract ideas that resonate with a group of people and break them down into actionable tactics and strategies for practitioners. That’s what Data Mesh Live will do.

?? Berlin, don’t miss this! ?? Our MVP, Amy Raygada, Principal Data and AI Strategist at Thoughtworks, will speak on the panel "Can AI drive the next evolution of Data Mesh?" on February 19 at 6 PM at Thoughtworks Berlin! This is a must-attend discussion for anyone curious about the intersection of AI and Data Mesh, how they complement each other, the challenges, and the future. Join her in person and be part of the conversation! ??
