A sample architecture for a data mesh on AWS
We have looked at what a data mesh is, some of the organizational and technical challenges of building a data mesh, and finally some of the AWS services that can be used to build a data mesh. Now, in this section, let’s bring it all together with a sample architecture for a data mesh on AWS.
Architecture for a data mesh using AWS-native services
Earlier in this chapter, we discussed how a data mesh is easier to build if starting new, or if just using AWS-native services. In this section, we will look at a sample architecture for when you only use AWS-native services, and in the section after this, we will review an architecture for environments that use analytic tools from other vendors.
The following architecture diagram shows a data mesh that is built using Amazon DataZone, with data in an Amazon S3-based data lake (a similar architecture would support data in Amazon Redshift) and using AWS Lake Formation for data sharing...
