Streamlining Data Quality Management in a Data Mesh

HelloFresh is transforming its approach to data management by transitioning from a centralized data organization to a data mesh model, aimed at improving data access, reliability, and quality across its growing operations. This shift involves decentralizing data ownership to domain-specific teams, each responsible for building and maintaining data products with defined ownership and service levels. To support this transformation, HelloFresh adopted Soda Cloud as a self-service data quality platform, enabling teams to autonomously manage and monitor data quality. The company implemented a federated data governance framework, encouraging accountability through a gamified certification program. A global hackathon further fostered a culture of collaboration and data literacy, emphasizing data quality as a shared responsibility. As HelloFresh continues to enhance its data mesh, it is preparing for scalable data analytics and improved decision-making across the organization, leveraging the benefits of distributed data ownership and high-quality data products.
