Data Mesh Architecture is the fourth generation of the “modern data stack”. This approach focuses on the creation of ‘data products’ that feed data from data warehouses or data lakes back into operational systems. REST APIs are at the heart of this architecture and we are seeing a whole new set of use cases based on this approach.
