Data mesh may well be the next innovation we can add to this list. I see it as a kind of microservices for data architecture. Part technology and part practice, this socio-technical theory aims to let large, interconnected organizations avoid putting all their data into one single place: a pattern that can lead to paralysis. In a data mesh, different applications, pipelines, databases, storage layers, etc., are instead connected through self-service data products, creating a network, or “mesh,” of data that has no central point where teams are forced to wait in line or step on each other’s toes. Such problems plague the monolithic application and the monolithic data warehouse alike.
