    Proof of concept on how to gain insights with Trino across different databases from a distributed data mesh

  • Not central to the main ideas of this article, but if you want to have a data mesh that is self-service, why force folks to use a particular storage medium like a data warehouse? That still requires centralization of the data.

    Why not instead have a tool like Trino (https://trino.io) that allows you to let different domains use whatever datastore they happen to use. You still would need to enforce schema, but this can be done in tools like schema registry as mentioned in the article along with a data cataloging tool.

    These tools facilitate the distributed nature of the problem nicely and encourage healthy standards to be discussed and the formalized in schema definitions and catalogs that remove the ambiguity of discourse and documentation.

    Nice example is laid out in this repo of how Trino can accomplish data mesh principles 1 and 3 (https://github.com/findinpath/trino_data_mesh).
