#249 Zhamak's Corner 27 - Creating Truly Scalable Interconnectivity for Data

<p>Takeaways:</p><ul><li>A data product by the data mesh definition cannot by definition be a silo because it is meant to be consumed by the rest of the organization as a greater part of the picture of the organization. Whether that is true in practice remains to be seen :) </li><li>APIs are the way we've learned in software to interconnect between services, so we need to learn how to leverage the same approaches in data.</li><li>Within a single organization, we may be able to get by without having a great set of industry-wide interconnectivity standards - the company can fully control their own sharing. But, we know that to truly unlock the value of our organizations, cross organization data sharing - in a scalable and useful way - is necessary. So we need better ways to do that - standards and tooling/technology.</li><li>It remains to be seen which will emerge first: the standards or the tooling/technology - a chicken and egg issue there - but they must really must be intertwined to work well. </li></ul><br/><p>Sponsored by <a href="https://www.nextdata.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NextData</a>, Zhamak's company that is helping ease data product creation.</p><p>For more great content from Zhamak, check out her book on <a href="https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/data-mesh/9781492092384/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">data mesh</a>, <a href="https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/software-architecture-the/9781492086888/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a book she collaborated on</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhamak-dehghani/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her LinkedIn</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/zhamakd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her Twitter</a>. </p><p><br></p><p>Sign up for Data Mesh Understanding's free roundtable and introduction programs here: <a href="https://landing.datameshunderstanding.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://landing.datameshunderstanding.com/</a></p><p>Please Rate and Review us on
