All large companies are now trying to build huge centralized data warehouses. Or even more huge cluster Data Lakes (as a rule, on a hdup). But I do not know a single example of the successful construction of such a data platform. Everywhere is pain and suffering for both those who are building a data platform, and for users. In the article below, the author (Zhamak Degani) offers a completely new approach to building a data platform. This is the architecture of the fourth generation data platform called Data Mesh. The original article in English is very voluminous and frankly hard to read. The translation also turned out to be rather big and the text is not very simple: long sentences, rather dry vocabulary. I did not reformulate the author’s thoughts in order to maintain the accuracy of the wording.But I highly recommend that you still get through this difficult text and read the article. For those who deal with data, it will be very useful and very interesting.Evgeny Cherny
