Data Contracts — ensure robustness in your data mesh architecture

In a federated architecture, in which responsibilities are distributed between domains, it’s harder to oversee dependencies and obtain insights in data usage. This is where data contracts come into play. Why do data contracts matter? Because they provide insights into who owns what data products. They support setting standards and managing your data pipelines with confidence. They provide information on what data products are being consumed, by whom and for what purpose. Bottom line: data contracts are essential for robust data management!
