Exploring different methods available for sharing data
One of the challenges most companies face is deciding on a data-sharing best practice that standardizes one standard technique to share data. However, while discussing the challenges of data sharing in a data mesh, we realized that there are multiple ways of sharing data. Let us spend some time organizing all these data-sharing techniques and the different components and layers involved in their implementation. This will help in aligning the different methods to different data-sharing scenarios.
In-place access
As discussed in the What is in-place sharing? section, in-place sharing provides direct access to the data from the code that needs to process that data.
As an example, let’s assume a file called data.csv is stored in a data lake of a European finance data product in a company, as shown in Figure 13.5.
