Domain Driven Data Mesh Architecture for Scalable Analytics

Challenge – Bottlenecks in Centralized Data Operations
A global financial institution relied on a centralized data team serving 50 business units, creating delivery delays, limited ownership, and compliance risks in a regulated environment. Business teams lacked timely insights, slowing decision making and innovation.

Solution – Domain Driven Data Mesh Architecture
Partnering with NucleusTeq, the bank implemented a scalable data mesh framework enabling decentralized analytics. Domain specific data products were built using dbt, integrated through a central catalog in DataHub, and governed via Apache Atlas to ensure secure, federated access and compliance across all units.

Impact – Faster, Compliant, and Scalable Analytics
• 45% reduction in analytics delivery time
• Full regulatory compliance with governed access
• Improved ownership and collaboration across domains
• Scaled to 100+ production data products

By adopting a decentralized yet unified architecture, the bank empowered each business domain to innovate autonomously while maintaining enterprise wide trust and visibility.
