New Essay: Data Mesh and Platform Organizations

We’ve just published a comprehensive essay on Data Mesh, a vital organizational design pattern anyone working with data needs to understand. This piece explores how Data Mesh integrates with our Platform Design and Platform Organization practices, providing mechanisms for scalable data exploitation in platform organizations. This article is the first of a series in which we’ll provide a simple framing of Data Mesh for those looking for adoption to harness the full potential of data within their organizational models. Of course, we believe platform thinking is the?key to success.
