This whitepaper introduces Data Mesh as a paradigm shift from centralized data platforms to domain-driven, product-oriented architectures. It outlines four core principles: domain-driven ownership, data as a product, self-serve data infrastructure, and federated computational governance. The document explains how decentralizing ownership improves scalability and reduces bottlenecks while maintaining interoperability and security standards. Using examples such as streaming media platforms, it demonstrates how distributed data products can be discoverable, trustworthy, and secure. The paper positions distributed SQL engines like Trino as key enablers of scalable Data Mesh implementations.
