Data Fabric and Data Mesh Approaches with AI: A Guide to AI-based Data Cataloging, Governance, Integration, Orchestration, and Consumption

Understand modern data fabric and data mesh concepts using AI-based self-service data discovery and delivery capabilities, a range of intelligent data integration styles, and automated unified data governance—all designed to deliver "data as a product" within hybrid cloud landscapes.

This book teaches you how to successfully deploy state-of-the-art data mesh solutions and gain a comprehensive overview on how a data fabric architecture uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for automated metadata management and self-service data discovery and consumption. You will learn how data fabric and data mesh relate to other concepts such as data DataOps, MLOps, AIDevOps, and more. Many examples are included to demonstrate how to modernize the consumption of data to enable a shopping-for-data (data as a product) experience.

By the end of this book, you will understand the data fabric concept and architecture as it relates to themes such as automated unifieddata governance and compliance, enterprise information architecture, AI and hybrid cloud landscapes, and intelligent cataloging and metadata management.
