Decentralized Data Mesh Architecture

Centralized data warehouses become organizational bottlenecks as enterprises grow. Data Mesh shifts ownership from a centralized data team to domain-specific product teams treating data as a first-class product.

1. Domain-Oriented Data Ownership

Sales, inventory, and billing engineering teams build and manage their own event streaming pipelines using Apache Kafka and dbt models, providing clean APIs for downstream analytical consumers.

2. Federated Computational Governance

Automated data quality checks and encryption policies are applied globally across all data products using open-policy agents (OPA) and Snowflake row-level security.
