This document discusses data mesh, a distributed data management approach for microservices. It outlines the challenges of implementing microservice architecture including data decoupling, sharing data across domains, and data consistency. It then introduces data mesh as a solution, describing how to build the necessary infrastructure using technologies like Kubernetes and YAML to quickly deploy data pipelines and provision data across services and applications in a distributed manner. The document provides examples of how data mesh can be used to improve legacy system integration, batch processing efficiency, multi-source data aggregation, and cross-cloud/environment integration.
