Many enterprises are investing in a next-generation data lake, hoping to democratize data at scale to provide business insights and ultimately make automated intelligent decisions. In this practical book, author Zhamak Dehghani reveals that, despite the time, money, and effort poured into them, data warehouses and data lakes fail when applied at the scale and speed of today’s organizations. A distributed Data Mesh is a better choice. This book shows you why and how.

  • Analyze the landscape’s underlying characteristics and failure modes
  • Get a complete introduction to Data Mesh principles and its constituents
  • Learn how to design a Data Mesh architecture
  • Move beyond a monolithic data lake to a distributed Data Mesh
