ABN AMRO’s data mesh platform and architecture
This video gives you an idea for how to implement a data mesh architecture and provides some of the pitfalls for you to learn from and avoid. Dutch banking giant, ABN AMRO, started on their decentralized data journey before data mesh was even a thing, this presentation from senior architect, Rakesh Singh, covers the four-year journey.
Getting off to the right start with data mesh
Prominent data mesh expert, Thoughtworks, has written this four-part guide to lay out what it takes to successfully apply the principles of Data Mesh in a large corporate environment. Drawing from a number of implementations, the articles go over everything from people, processes, and technology to impart some of their experiences to those look to embark on a data mesh project.
