Why do we need a self-service portal?
Having a self-service portal to manage a data mesh is not mandatory. That’s right! You don’t have to have a self-service portal. There can be multiple reasons for not having one, such as the following:
- Small and medium-sized enterprises that can easily define their landing zones upfront and won’t need additional landing zones or new project resource groups don’t need a self-service portal
- Small companies that can simply create a landing zone based on an email sent by one of their departments don’t need a self-service portal
- Even large or medium-sized companies that have a well-defined business and don’t need the agility of creating landing zones or pipelines on the fly don’t need a self-service portal
However, having one will definitely have benefits irrespective of whether you need one or not. So, if you have the resources to build one, you should.
A portal for your data...
