Part 1: Data Products and the Power of Modular Architectures

In this part, we’ll explore the rationale and implications of treating data as a product. We’ll break down the key components of a data product, starting with interfaces accessible to external consumers, moving through internal data management applications, and ending with the infrastructure needed for production use. Finally, we’ll highlight the qualities and capabilities that a data architecture centered on data products must embody to balance the agility needed for scalability with the governance essential for sustainability.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, From Data as a Byproduct to Data as a Product
• Chapter 2, Data Products
• Chapter 3, Data Product-Centered Architectures
