Very good article. Data products has become term of the year, everyone is talking about it so keen to see how it evolves over time or like every other trend it will fizzle out itself ! Thank you
Thanks Goutam! Yup, it is a term that is not well understood but still very popular. If companies don't understand it (and how to deal with it), it will lose its power and people will dismiss the term and the eventual products that get built
Always respect your views and opinions Yordan! And I don’t think I will ever convince the engineering crowd because to be fair, your products are the datasets/ tables you work with. But for most other people in the Data Ecosystem, they don’t think of it that way (maybe have internal vs. external vocabulary around data products?)
But to give you a teaser, I like to call foundational ones Data Assets (these are overarching data elements that can feed into multiple use cases) and then within the Gold layer that is more curated you have curated Data Sets/ Layers (these are more specific and focused tables that feed into data products within data marts). But I will get into that in future articles!
Awesome descriptions, as always! Keep it up! I keep learning more.
Thanks Morgan, I very much appreciate the kind words!

Great post, Dylan! My view is slightly different, but I can see your point.

Oh, a separation would make a ton of sense!
So, drum roll… what should we call Data Mesh ‘Data Products’?
Oh I will get to that ;)

Great topic for clarification, Dylan.

Thanks Kamal, I'll take a look!
