Data Mesh Manager provides the metadata layer of a typical data mesh platform. In particular, it focuses on the definition of data products and the specification of data contracts using the OpenContract initiative and can be integrated into build pipelines using the associated DataContract CLI. The application also provides a data catalog to discover and explore data products and their metadata and allows for federated governance, including the definition of data quality metrics and the management of data quality rules. It’s one of the first native tools in this space, which means it isn’t just trying to retrofit existing platforms to the data mesh paradigm.
