My current book recommendation: Data Management at Scale: Modern Data Architecture with Data Mesh and Data Fabric by Piethein Strengholt

The book provides an insightful exploration of how next-generation data architectures are evolving, highlighting two key concepts: data mesh and data fabric.

Data Mesh focuses on decentralizing data ownership and responsibilities, treating data as a product, and fostering a domain-oriented approach. It enables organizations to scale their data operations effectively by empowering domain experts to manage and govern their own data.

Data Fabric emphasizes seamless data integration across diverse environments, ensuring that data is accessible, reliable, and available in real-time. This approach leverages metadata, AI, and machine learning to automate and streamline data management processes.

I think anyone interested in the future of data management should read the book. It offers practical insights and forward-thinking strategies that can help organizations harness the full potential of their data assets.

„Organizations need to face the fact that data decentralization is inevitable“, says the author.
