Data meshvsData ownership
Data mesh
each domain team owns and publishes its own data products rather than throwing rows over the wall to a central data team.
An organisational approach that pushes ownership of analytical data to the teams that produce it, with a central platform providing the shared tooling and standards. It is a response to the central team becoming a bottleneck that understands none of the domains it models. It only works with genuine platform investment and enforced standards; without those it is a central bottleneck replaced by twelve incompatible ones.

the table is wrong and the question 'who owns this' takes two days and three Slack channels to answer.
A named team accountable for a dataset's correctness, freshness and lifecycle. Without it, quality problems are everyone's to notice and nobody's to fix, which is the default state of any warehouse over a certain size. Ownership recorded in the catalogue rather than in someone's memory is what makes an incident routable at three in the morning.
