Architect’s Open-Source Guide for a Data Mesh Architecture
8 likes4,451 views
Data Mesh is an innovative concept addressing many data challenges from an architectural, cultural, and organizational perspective. But is the world ready to implement Data Mesh? In this session, we will review the importance of core Data Mesh principles, what they can offer, and when it is a good idea to try a Data Mesh architecture. We will discuss common challenges with implementation of Data Mesh systems and focus on the role of open-source projects for it. Projects like Apache Spark can play a key part in standardized infrastructure platform implementation of Data Mesh. We will examine the landscape of useful data engineering open-source projects to utilize in several areas of a Data Mesh system in practice, along with an architectural example. We will touch on what work (culture, tools, mindset) needs to be done to ensure Data Mesh is more accessible for engineers in the industry. The audience will leave with a good understanding of the benefits of Data Mesh architecture, common challenges, and the role of Apache Spark and other open-source projects for its implementation in real systems. This session is targeted for architects, decision-makers, data-engineers, and system designers.

- 25. Input Ports Questions • Data Source - Where is the data coming from? External dataset or another data product? • Data Format - What is the format of the source input? • Rate of Updates - How frequently does the input need to be updated? Output Ports Questions • End-consumers - Who are the end-users of the data product? • Data purpose - What are they planning to do with the data outputs? • Data access - Who needs to have access? How do they prefer to access the data output? • Data address - How do they prefer to access the data output? • Data Format - What format of the data do they expect? Identity and Permission Policies Questions • Which resources can this data product be allowed to access? • Which data products or users can read which output ports of this data product? • Are all sensitive resources this data product offers protected according their required privacy standards (e.g. HIPAA, GDPR, PII, CCPA, etc.) • Is the permissions policy stored and managed in the same package as the data product? Data Product Action Questions • What is the action that needs to happen to produce the outcomes for the end-users? • What are the required adjustments, transformations, filters, updates, or quality improvements to the input data? Operational Questions • How can this data product be discovered and how should it be described to other data products that might want to consume it? • Which metadata and information should it make available to the end- users? • Where and how should data product versioning be managed during updates to ensure consistency with how the end-users consume it? • Which SLAs or SLOs does the data product provide? • Which product success metrics can this data product expose and keep track of? (adoption, usage, quality) • Is the automation/resource orchestration logic stored in the same package? Other Questions • Is this product not tightly coupled to any other data source, data product, or any other resource that makes him not interoperable? • Does this data product follow the defined global governance standards and practices defined by the organization? • Does this data product have any implementation details that could interfere with its portability?
