Andrew Jones' Newsletter

Want great, practical advice on implementing data mesh, data products and data contracts?
In my weekly newsletter I share with you an original post and links to what's new and cool in the world of data mesh, data products, and data contracts.
I also include a little pun, because why not? 😅
(Don’t worry—I hate spam, too, and I’ll NEVER share your email address with anyone!)
Love to read the little tidbits of insight and advice! The fact everything is both short and to-the point makes it actionable and easy to implement. Of course it's clear that Andrew goes deep on data contracts, data products and all the minute details. But as someone once said, the people who really get things are the ones that can package it in a clear language! Focusing a lot on the (actually hard) aspects around driving changes in culture and people.
Special thanks for your newsletter. It is always on point with the problems we are trying to tackle.
Highly recommended newsletter when drafting a business strategy that is "shifting left" in the data tech stack.
