Data sharing

This is a paradox to a lot of collaboration and isolation concepts we reviewed in earlier sections. When groups or lines of business have a lot of data dependencies, they are usually housed together to facilitate better collaboration, and if they do not have any operational dependencies, they can be segregated in their own environments – for example, HR and marketing may be in their own domain meshes. However, what happens if there is a need for them to share some insights? There should be a way to promote it, as it leads to better stakeholder engagement that improves enterprise value. However, all the painful architecting to ensure this accidental exposure does not happen will now have to be reconsidered. That is a lot of unnecessary complexity and re-architecting. Also, data replication to a shared location will lead to the two getting out of sync. Thankfully, Delta sharing comes to the rescue.
