Data mesh is a new way of collecting, organizing, and sharing all kinds of data. To understand it, you can think of it like a big rainbow-colored net. The net has lots of tiny little pockets, and each pocket holds different types of data – like numbers, words, or pictures. To get the data out of the net, you can “mesh,” or weave, the net in different ways. That way, you can get all the data out of the net, and use it to do different things.
