THE RISE OF THE DATA MESH: DECENTRALIZING DATA FOR AGILE ANALYTICS

Abstract

-The research work investigates how
organisations have adopted Data Mesh, a data
architecture style to practice decentralized data
management, especially in terms of using agile
analytics at scale. The objective of the study is to
examine fundamental concepts of Data Mesh,
analyse the challenges it can present during
deployment, and make a conclusion on the benefit of
applying Data Mesh to improve the speed and
flexibility of its operational work. The study reviews
literature from peer published scientific journals and
case analysis to investigate the relevance and
disadvantage of decentralizing data ownership to
domain teams. The research therefore indicates that
although Data Mesh enables faster and more
responsive data analysis, it also comes with new
challenges of data governance, security and
integration. The paper affords an understanding of
the concept of Data Mesh and the real-life solution
that any organisation facing challenges in
implementing that concept can use.
