Traditionally, after being stored in a data lake, raw data was then often moved to various destinations like a data warehouse for further processing, analysis, and consumption. Databricks Data Catalog and AWS Lake Formation are examples in this vein. AWS is one of the most popular data lake vendors.

But while most every company would consider themselves a “data-first” organization, not every data architecture is treated to the same level of democratization and scalability. In this post we’ll look at the dizzyingly buzzy data mesh and how it stacks up to the more traditional aggregated architectural approach of a data lake.
