Title:
Data Mesh 101

Abstract:
The Data Mesh Architecture is a set of social and technological principles for designing modern data architectures. Data mesh makes data a first-class citizen, by treating data sources as products, a key component for an organization's success. The data in a Data Mesh is easily accessible, interconnected across the entire business, and provides its users with the means to reliably discover, access, and consume it.

In this meetup, we will cover:
- The principles of data mesh, and how they relate to the event streaming model
- Building your own data products as served by event streams
- A reference prototype showcasing implementation of Data Mesh, based on Confluent Cloud.
