Those can have long lives but look to shut down unused capabilitiesYour new projects, where applicable, should be data mesh data products. But a large percent aren't going to be that at the start. Figure out some incentives for people to push their new data products to your mesh platform early if possibleYou should not look to lift and shift data projects/assets/products unless it is truly easy for all users - producers and consumers - lift and shift sounds great but it doesn't work well in all but the rarest of casesBe prepared for people to get concerned about having to migrate early - communicate strongly that you aren't forcing migrations of existing data workPlease Rate and Review us on your podcast app of choice!If you want to be a guest or give feedback (suggestions for topics, comments, etc.), please see hereEpisode list and links to all available episode transcripts here.Provided as a free resource by Data Mesh Understanding / Scott Hirleman.
