Tom De Wolf & Mathias Verraes on Digital Innovation Podcast: Why the time for Data Mesh is now!
March 18th, 2025 - In the latest episode of our Digital Innovation Podcast, we explore the evolving world of Data Mesh with two key figures behind the upcoming Data Mesh Live conference: Tom De Wolf, Data Mesh Expert at ACA Group and host of the event, and Mathias Verraes, CEO and Principal Consultant at Aardling, the organization behind the conference.
Tom and Mathias discuss the origins of Data Mesh Live, which was born from the need for an in-person community dedicated to Data Mesh, much like how Domain-Driven Design (DDD) evolved. They discuss Data Mesh principles, its perceived place in the technology hype cycle, and why it is now more relevant than ever as organizations shift from theory to real-world adoption. Tom and Mathias also highlight the importance of community building and knowledge sharing through meetups and conferences, emphasizing how Data Mesh Live will provide a space for these discussions.
A key focus of the event is practical application, ensuring that attendees gain actionable insights to implement Data Mesh effectively. With its co-location alongside Domain-Driven Design Europe, the conference fosters cross-pollination of ideas, bringing together experts and practitioners from both fields to advance how we approach scalable and decentralized data architectures.
