In this episode, we tackle the book’s in-depth description of the Data Engineering Lifecycle. The chapters in Part 2 cover source systems, storage, ingestion, transformation and serving data. We will take each topic one at a time and discuss how each step in the lifecycle aligns or differs from our core Data Mesh design principles. Spoiler alert, there are some incredible ideas and synergies that you can take to improve your Data Mesh design.
