Our take
An increasingly popular software architecture is data mesh, a type of data platform that implements domain-oriented and self-serve designs. These types of platforms make it easier for companies to create, share, and connect their data to decentralize the information they use, all without having to transfer data to centralized repositories or lakes.
That said, many companies that wish to implement data mesh trip up from the get-go, often being too dependent on centralized data governance and lacking the specialists to fully benefit from it. Nextdata is a data-mesh-native platform that customers can use to build and share data products, making it easier for more businesses to benefit from the architecture.
The company is up against large and mature competitors, such as Databricks and Snowflake, but claims to stand out thanks to its product-first ethos. The platform was also built specifically for data sharing concerning AI and machine learning, which makes it scaleable and future-proof in a crowded market, and Nextdata has secured strong seed funding to help grow its team and operations.
