Data Mesh Manager

by innoQ Deutschland GmbH

Data Product Inventory, Data Contracts & Data Mesh Governance

The Data Mesh Manager is the SaaS for everyone building a data mesh. Build a data product inventory, agree on data contracts, and define global policies with Data Mesh Manager for pragmatic data mesh governance.


Create an inventory of Data Products

Data Products are the building blocks of your data mesh. Make them first-class citizens.

Discover: A data catalog is not enough. Use the comprehensive inventory of data products as a powerful entrypoint to navigate through your data mesh. Find the data products that enable your use cases.
Identify the data products that you can trust. See the data product's policy adoption and usage statistics.
Automate. Integrate your data platform with the Data Mesh Manager API right from your CI/CD pipelines. Keep everything up-to-date automatically without having to enter metadata manually.

Connect your data with Data Contracts

A data contract is a formal agreement between a data product provider and a data product consumer. Make the guarantees about provided data and expectations of the data usage explicit.
Manage promises and expectations. Data contracts specify which data products are used by whom and for what. With a data contract, consumers can count on the promised data quality.
Agree and reassess. Data Mesh Manager supports the full life-cycle of data contracts as a self-service: Request and accept the access to a data product to agree on a bilateral data contract. Regular reassessment dates allow data contracts to be renewed or terminated, for example, when a data product version is deprecated.
Automate. Subscribe to the Data Mesh Manager events API to trigger the creation of IAM permissions in your data platform, once a data contract is created or updated.

Make governance decisions with Global Policies

Data Mesh Manager facilities global policies through Decision Records: Define the context and problem statement, describe consequences for viable options and agree on a decision.
Document decisions. Discuss and document options. Be aware of the consequences. Agree on an option. Notify all data product users about new policies.
Rely on best practices. You don't have to reinvent all global policies by yourself. Data Mesh Manager comes with sensible global policy examples, tailored to major data platforms.
Track policy automation and adoption. Policies are preferably fully automated by your data platform, but some policies require changes in the data products or by the teams. Data Mesh Manager allows to track policy adoption on a data platform, data product, and team level.
