Data Mesh is a Cinchy

Cinchy is a data collaboration platform, rather like a kind of Google Docs for data. The idea is that instead of data integration, where data is merged from different applications into a new form such as a data warehouse, data collaboration can be done on a networked basis while leaving the original data in place. “Data products” are created around specific data domains like product, customer or asset, and maintained by a team of data owners in a federated governance approach. This is very much the basis for a “data mesh” architecture that has come to the fore in recent years.
