What we’re about
We are a vendor-independent group dedicated to helping people learn and find resources about data mesh. We have partnered with Zhamak Dehghani to help people get up to speed without being sold to. We host virtual meetups every month that are free to attend and are available on our YouTub channel afterwards.
If you want to learn more about data mesh, we have a list of resources here:

Tom De Wolf | Senior Architect and Innovation Lead, ACA GroupSpeaker bio:
Tom De Wolf is an experienced hands-on architect and serves as the innovation lead, spearheading new innovative initiatives for future ACA Group projects and offerings. His expertise lies in cloud native platform engineering and 'Data Mesh' platform architectures, leveraging his background in software engineering and experience in designing various architectures, including software, microservices, data platforms, and IoT solutions. Tom draws inspiration from his knowledge of evolutionary architectures, domain-driven design, team topologies, platform thinking, platform engineering, and cloud-native technologies, among others. In addition, Tom is the founder and host of the Data Mesh Belgium meetups. His academic background as a Ph.D. holder in Computer Science has taken him around the globe, where he has presented at numerous international conferences.Description:
ACA Group has implemented Data Mesh Platform within the Flemish Cultural Sector in collaboration with the Flemish Department of Culture, Youth and Media (CJM) and publiq. Instead of supporting a single organization, the challenge here was to support a whole eco-system of teams across many organisations within the cultural sector. In this talk we will explain why a Data Mesh solution was fit-for-purpose for enabling a data-driven digital transformation in the sector. As an example, we will dive into some meshes of data products and data use cases. On the technical side, a cloud-native platform engineering architecture was envisioned, designed, implemented and evangelised. After the talk, the audience will have insight into this real-world data mesh case and the architecture behind it. This Data Mesh Platform received the Flanders Digital Award 2023 for Best Digital Transformation Project. - Data quality - prevention is better than the cureLink visible for attendees

Andrew Jones | Principal (Data) Engineer, GoCardlessDescription
Many of us spend a lot of our time dealing with poor quality data, and any solution we put in place tends to be reactive or yet another workaround implemented in an increasingly complex data pipeline. But this is proving ineffective and expensive, and preventing organisations from realising the value of their data, when that's becoming more important than ever.What if we could prevent data quality issues, at source, where it is cheapest and most effective?
We can, and in this talk I'll show you how.
You'll leave this talk with knowledge of how to use data contracts as your first step towards data mesh.
- Adevinta: Data Mesh Journey in Adevinta SpainLink visible for attendees
Join us in a discussion with:
Marta Diaz | Product Manager Data Platform, AdevintaDescription
The data mesh paradigm shift is a journey. A journey that begins with a purpose rooted in delivering data-driven value at scale. Not being focused on the purpose is the most common antipattern.During these four years as a PM Data Platform in Adevinta Spain, I have been actively involved in accelerating the technology to prepare the company to achieve its goals.
The data platform has been viewed as an expense rather than an investment for years. It’s time for a shift in perspective. Now, we must prioritize unlocking the data platform’s ROI. It is essential to discuss at the same table as business.
