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 solve 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.

What participants say about this workshop
"I recently completed the Data Mesh in Action training, and I highly recommend it. This training goes beyond technology; it emphasizes the importance of product thinking and scaling organisations effectively. The concept of Data Mesh empowers teams to harness the full potential of their data, driving innovation and improving insights."

"Learning by doing and discussing made this workshop incredibly effective. Joining this workshop was the right decision, as it has been extremely helpful for beginning my data mesh journey this year, both in the short and long term. Jacek was also very kind and patient in answering all my questions."

Data Mesh in Action
By Jacek Majchrzak - Published by 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 organisational 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 organise 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.
