TDWI Playbook | Modern Data Paradigms and Architectures: The Data Mesh and the Semantic Layer

October 20, 2022

Recently, organizations have started to consider the data mesh. The data mesh is a sociotechnical approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. With a data mesh, the responsibility for analytical data is shifted from the central data team to the domain teams, supported by a data platform team that provides a domain-agnostic data platform.

This playbook describes the business case for the data mesh and the semantic layer, as well as plays for getting started.
