    Podcast Episode: Data Mesh Under Fire

    Pip: Good Strategy Rebellion — where the sacred cows of enterprise tech get a proper going-over. Today we’re deep in the data wars, asking whether the industry’s favourite architectural revolution is actually a revolution, or just the same old chaos in a new lanyard.
