Databricks Data Mesh Best Practices: Practical Implementation Guide

How long does your business wait for a new report? A week? A month? Sometimes longer? The problem is often not Databricks, Spark, or compute. It's that every new dataset, metric, and Gold table has to go through the same Data Team. As the company grows, that team becomes the bottleneck.

This is exactly the problem Data Mesh is trying to solve. But there is surprisingly little practical guidance on what Data Mesh should actually look like in Databricks.

So I put together the guide I wish I had before implementing it:

who should own what
Catalogs, Schemas and Groups
Data Products
self-service without chaos
governance and CI/CD
monitoring and cost control
how to start with one domain and scale

Not another explanation of what Data Mesh is.
