As data professionals, you're likely already familiar with both data mesh and medallion architecture - two powerful approaches to structuring and organizing data at scale. But have you ever considered what happens when you combine them? In this session, we’ll dive into how the best features of data mesh and medallion architecture can work together in Microsoft Fabric to create a more flexible, scalable, and collaborative data environment.

We'll walk through the core principles of both architectures, exploring how each one addresses different challenges in managing data at scale. Then, we’ll introduce our hybrid approach, which we like to call "meshdallion." By combining these two methodologies, you’ll learn how to break down data silos across teams and improve access to high-quality data across your organization.

This session is all about giving you practical guidance—how to implement a meshdallion strategy, what pitfalls to watch out for, and how to leverage the full power of Microsoft Fabric to support it. Along the way, we’ll discuss real-world use cases, best practices, and common gotchas so you can hit the ground running. Whether you’re looking to optimize your data flow or streamline collaboration across teams, this session will show you how to integrate the flexibility of data mesh with the structured approach of medallion architecture for a truly unified data landscape!
