#265 Are You (Even) Doing Data Mesh™? - Mesh Musings 55

<p>Key takeaways:</p><ol><li>If you want to say you are doing data mesh, go ahead. If you really want to know if you are, look to Zhamak's book and her talks - how much are you attempting and are you going with the thin slice model - not ignoring any of the pillars. Have some empathy for yourself.</li><li>If others want to say they are doing data mesh, it's not really a big deal as long as we aren't trying to emulate the ones fooling themselves or over-marketing.</li><li>I'd rather welcome more folks into the tent than gatekeep. Maybe that is just my own prerogative but I have empathy for people who see what they think the end journey should look like.
