Data mesh is a novel approach of data strategy and executing enterprise data architectures. It goes beyond just the technology and architectures, and also covers people, processes, operations and organization structures.

In this talk I will discuss one such practical implementation of Data Mesh based data platform for one of largest media producer broadcaster UK based client.

I will talk about how the social and technical aspects are implemented using domain driven boundaries within the organisation and on data platforms.

Data Mesh philosophy talks about a core platform engineering team, which is responsible for building capabilities and service the data product teams who will use these capabilities to realise their value use cases/ E2E journeys.
In this client engagement, we created these capabilities teams, defined and onboarded domains, and on boarded the data products belonging to the domain. The anatomy of the data product makes multiple different aspects around data to be handled very efficiently, like privacy by design, compliance etc. which were also part of our delivery. I will showcase the design of these core capabilities, the domains and the data products along with architecture and code snippets.
I will talk about the current state of the platform and how it will evolve in future with Data Mesh principles.
