Traditional centralized data teams can’t keep up with fast-growing organizations. A data mesh approach distributes data ownership across domains while keeping governance and standards in place. At Essid Solutions, we help organizations build and adopt data mesh architectures that scale with their business.

🔧 What Is Data Mesh?

Data Mesh is a decentralized data architecture where:

• Each domain (team or department) owns its data as a product
• Central teams provide the platform and governance
• Data is discoverable, self-serve, and interoperable

It’s ideal for organizations with multiple data-producing teams and growing demands on analytics.

⚖️ Key Principles of Data Mesh

1. Domain-Oriented Ownership – Teams manage their own pipelines and data products
2. Data as a Product – Clear interfaces, SLAs, documentation
3. Self-Serve Platform – Tooling for ingestion, transformation, and discovery
4. Federated Governance – Central standards for quality, privacy, security

🌌 Tools for Building a Data Mesh

• Ingestion & Streaming: Kafka, Flink, Airbyte
• Transformation: dbt, Spark, Dagster
• Warehousing: Snowflake, BigQuery, Delta Lake
• Discovery & Governance: Atlan, DataHub, Amundsen, Unity Catalog
• Access Control: Okta, Lake Formation, role-based access

💼 Use Case: Multinational Retail Platform

A global retailer had 5+ teams depending on a single central data team. We:

• Trained domain teams to manage their own dbt models
• Implemented a central data catalog (Atlan) and S3 lake
• Standardized naming, ownership, and security practices

Result: 40% faster delivery of new reports and reduced bottlenecks.
