The Decentralized Data Access Revolution

" summary

Argues that shifting from a push/ingest to a serve and pull model cuts duplication and time-to-insight by letting domains own and publish consumable analytical Data Mesh products, backed by a domain-agnostic shared data platform, automated catalog and virtualization layer. Recommends federated governance, product-thinking for datasets, and closer operational/analytical integration. Warns decentralization is pointless for very small orgs (~50–100 people) and can create silos if governance, discoverability and reference-data strategies aren’t enforced.
