A Data Mesh for the Next Generation of Apps and Platforms

The power of data to solve problems is immense. The past several years have brought to software a variety of powerful tools for building the next generation of apps and platforms that do more with data than has been previously possible. A large variety of NOSQL databases for storing and retrieving data and tools for flexibly distributing data at scale are at the heart of this. The disruptive power of AI/ML further drives the need for a strong data foundation. This talk presents the opportunities for greater agility in data that these technologies enable when brought together and combined with other modern practices and technologies such as microservices and AI/ML. It covers some of the patterns and practices that make it possible and presents the problems that are yet to be solved
