Building the "Self-Serve Data Mesh Platform" is often the most daunting principle of a Data Mesh implementation. Platform teams struggle to explain their progress, prioritize the right capabilities, or articulate the value of their investments to stakeholders. This lack of direction can turn a promising journey into a stalled initiative where the platform team becomes the very bottleneck they were designed to eliminate.

In this session, we will apply the CNCF Platform Engineering Maturity Model as a navigational compass for your Data Mesh Platform Journey. We will demonstrate how to adapt this framework to assess your current state, identify gaps, and plot a clear trajectory for the future. You will leave with a practical strategy to transform abstract architectural goals into a roadmap that tells you where you are and where you need to go next.
