There is no Bad Data
Data's value depends on its intended use. Operational data collection often prioritizes transactions over analysis, resulting in data not optimized for later purposes. Technical data aggregation can introduce biases. Unclear business requests and data silos complicate analysis. To leverage data effectively, we need to be flexible on how we analyze the data we have at hand.
Anti-Patterns in Data Mesh
This article explores common anti-patterns in implementing Data Mesh, a decentralized data architecture emphasizing domain-oriented data ownership. While Data Mesh aims to enhance data accessibility and usability across organizations, its success relies on understanding core principles: domain-driven data ownership, data products, and federated governance.
Data Mess to Data Mesh
The standard strategy of centralizing data into a single repository often leads to chaotic "data swamps.” Due to poor data quality and governance issues, these swaps hinder efficient analysis and decision-making. An alternative approach, known as Data Mesh, proposes a decentralized architecture focused on treating data as a product.
Your Starter Guide to Data Governance
Data governance establishes standards for data collection, storage, and analysis, ensuring accuracy and mitigating risks associated with regulatory non-compliance. Moreover, governance promotes ethical data practices, safeguarding individual privacy rights and societal norms.
