Session Details

Data Products are not just a part of the data mesh paradigm, even if this is the first place many hear about the concept. But what exactly IS a data product?
There are surprisingly many takes on what a data product is, but in this session we will take a closer look at what core features every data product should have regardless.
We will also discuss the various forms of data products that can appear as well as how you can place proper governance on them.

We will also take a look at data contracts, which are a central feature when applying data products successfully.
