This Tech Mahindra white paper compares data mesh and data fabric, offering guidance on choosing the right fit for an organization. Data mesh decentralizes data ownership, enabling domain-specific, self-serve data products with federated governance. Data fabric centralizes control, using AI/ML and metadata to integrate data across hybrid environments. The paper outlines challenges, solution approaches, benefits, and best practices for both architectures. Key use cases include compliance, cloud modernization, and analytics. While the two are distinct, they are complementary and can be combined for scalable, governed, and agile data management.
