Data products

Data products are governed, ready-for-consumption data assets derived from data domains, following data mesh principles.

Key characteristics:

• Clear ownership: Defined data product owners with explicit access roles and accountability
• Rich metadata: Comprehensive data modeling views, usage terms, access permissions, and descriptive documentation
• Self-service consumption: Discoverable and well-documented for autonomous data consumer access
• Version management: Immutable data modeling view versions with governed schemas and updatable metadata

Data products act as a governance layer around data modeling, establishing trust and reliability for business decisions through clear ownership, comprehensive metadata, and standardized access patterns.

Space ownership: A data product owns a schema space. The data modeling views that the data product governs live in that schema space. The schema space is exclusively owned by the data product.
