Converging Data Mesh and Microservice Principles into a Unified Logical Architecture

Companies have invested in Domain-Driven Design to support data-driven business, but this strategy has led to bottlenecks, demanding the decentralisation of analytical data by domain. This paper proposes a converged strategy for a domain-specific decentralisation of analytical data. Sequentially applied, the elicitation of cloud computing microservices, their identification uses using functionally decomposed UML use cases as a result of the domain-driven design, the application of a logical architecture derivation method followed by the application of microservices patterns, and, finally, the application of data mesh principles to organize packets or reorganize objects in new packet boundaries, result in the derivation of a converged architecture containing both microservices quantum and data mesh quantum as a distributed architecture mesh.
