Summary
During this interactive and challenging training workshop, we will introduce you to the core ideas and principles behind Data Mesh. This will be a hands-on training, where we will apply data mesh principles to a concrete use case. Along the way, you will learn how to design data products and a simple self-serve data platform.
For who?
This workshop is created for technical product managers, solution architects, data infrastructure engineers, as well as technology and data leaders.

The Book
"Data Mesh in Action"
Jacek Majchrzak, Manning
Data Mesh in Action reveals how this groundbreaking architecture looks for both startups
and large enterprises. You won’t need any new technology — this book shows you how to start implementing
a data mesh with flexible processes and organizational change. You’ll explore both an extended case study
and real-world examples. As you go, you’ll be expertly guided through discussions around Socio-Technical
Architecture and Domain-Driven Design with the goal of building a sleek data-as-a-product system. Plus,
dozens of workshop techniques for both in-person and remote meetings help you onboard colleagues and drive
a successful transition..
Data Mesh in Action teaches you pragmatic ways to decentralize your data and organize it into
an effective data mesh. You’ll start by building a minimum viable data product, which you’ll expand into a
self-service data platform, chapter by chapter. You’ll love the book’s unique “sliders” that adjust the mesh
to meet your specific needs. You’ll also learn processes and leadership techniques that will change the way
you and your colleagues think about data.
