Understand modern data fabric and data mesh concepts using AI-based self-service data discovery and delivery capabilities, a range of intelligent data integration styles, and automated unified data governance—all designed to deliver "data as a product" within hybrid cloud landscapes. This book teaches you how to successfully deploy state-of-the-art data mesh solutions and gain a comprehensive overview on how a data fabric architecture uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for automated metadata management and self-service data discovery and consumption. You will learn how data fabric and data mesh relate to other concepts such as data DataOps, MLOps, AIDevOps, and more. Many examples are included to demonstrate how to modernize the consumption of data to enable a shopping-for-data (data as a product) experience. By the end of this book, you will understand the data fabric concept and architecture as it relates to themes such as automated unifieddata governance and compliance, enterprise information architecture, AI and hybrid cloud landscapes, and intelligent cataloging and metadata management. What You Will LearnDiscover best practices and methods to successfully implement a data fabric architecture and data mesh solutionUnderstand key data fabric capabilities, e.g., self-service data discovery, intelligent data integration techniques, intelligent cataloging and metadata management, and trustworthy AIRecognize the importance of data fabric to accelerate digital transformation and democratize data accessDive into important data fabric topics, addressing current data fabric challengesConceive data fabric and data mesh concepts holistically within an enterprise contextBecome acquainted with the business benefits of data fabric and data mesh Who This Book Is ForAnyone who is interested in deploying modern data fabric architectures and data mesh solutions within an enterprise, including IT and business leaders, data governance and data office professionals, data stewards and engineers, data scientists, and information and data architects. Readers should have a basic understanding of enterprise information architecture.
