Diseño de la plataforma de datos de autoservicio para soportar la implantación de un enfoque de Malla de Datos en la oficina asesora de tecnologías de la información

Abstract

Context: Data mesh is a decentralized method for managing and governing analytical data proposed by Zhamak Dehghani. The Information Technology Advisory Office of the District University leads an initiative to adopt, validate and implement the data mesh approach within the context of the academic entity. This project focused on designing and presenting an AWS architecture that illustrates the components (tools and services) and their interaction to support the self-service data platform, this platform is one of the four fundamental principles in the data mesh approach. Method: The architecture was designed based on four axes: Identify and prioritize the needs established by the three principles of the data mesh that must be supported on the platform, consider the roles that use the platform, use the notion of a plane to logically divide the platform and design the platform around the services offered by AWS. Results: The functionalities matrix by role and plane, the AWS component diagram, the technical manual and a functional manual were prepared. Conclusions: Starting a data mesh implementation process is within everyone’s reach. The approach is new but flexible, the platform is only the first step but the functionalities and alternatives are available to take the step to the culture of and domains in data analytics.
