Databricks distinguishes between data mesh and data fabric, architectural approaches for managing data. Data mesh decentralizes data ownership to domain teams who treat data as products, addressing organizational bottlenecks. Data fabric, conversely, is a technology-driven automation layer that unifies distributed data through metadata and machine learning, tackling technical fragmentation. Databricks suggests that a hybrid approach, leveraging a Lakehouse architecture, can combine the benefits of both by enabling domain autonomy with centralized governance. AI
