Abstract: 

The concept of the Data Mesh has strongly resonated with both data professionals and the broader engineering community. Loose coupling, enablement of federated development, and data sharing ease the difficulty of data management in both large and small organizations. As well as bringing data systems closer parity with modern microservice-based systems.

In this talk we will explore how the adoption of an event based data architecture can enable an organization's sustainable transition to Data Mesh. This will include an overview of event-based architecture, architectural patterns for event-based data systems, and organizational considerations.

Background Knowledge:

Basic understanding of Data Engineering/Platforms
