NextGen Data Platforms - The Data Mesh Architecture and Domain-Driven Design

Watch a 44-minute conference talk from Data Con LA 2023 where Disney Streaming Senior Manager Himateja Madala explores the evolution and implementation of data mesh architecture. Learn how domain-driven architecture enables platforms with decentralized access, distributing data ownership across domain teams while maintaining federated governance. Discover key benefits of this architectural approach, including enforcement of data contracts between producers and consumers, improved logical data consistency, efficient master data management, and cost reduction through shared compute resources. Explore essential concepts like data product thinking, domain-oriented data ownership, self-serve functionality, and data governance. Follow the progression from traditional monolithic platforms to modern domain-oriented solutions, understanding core platform requirements, principles, and how federation works in practice. Gain valuable insights into data fabric and real-world learnings from implementing these next-generation data platforms.
