Data mesh on Amazon Redshift
A data mesh is an architecture pattern that’s not just limited to a single kind of analytics setup. A data lake is a prominent architecture that benefits from a data mesh in a large organization setup, with many independent analytics environments. However, data warehouses are also a foundational data store for analytics operations, and many times, data warehouses are the primary driving force of a data platform.
