Summary

Infosys Data Mesh is an architecture pattern that bridges the gap between analytics and application development teams within large enterprises, providing a decentralized data ownership approach with domain-first design principles. It aims to encapsulate data, its relationships, context, and access functionality into a data product with guaranteed quality, trust, and ease of use for business consumption. The platform requires flexible data structures, an API-driven construct, support for high-performance querying on large-scale data structures, and a shared, scalable infrastructure. MongoDB is the optimal platform for realizing the Infosys Data Mesh architecture due to its flexibility, scalability, and support for high-performance querying. By adopting Data Mesh, businesses can create industry-specific domain data products, enable self-service through trusted data products, speed up insights, and improve engagement leading to superior business results.
