Look inside

Messflix Inc., a movie and TV-show streaming platform, is implementing a data mesh. So far, it has a self-serve data platform prototype where development teams can register their domain data products. As a consultant, your task is to build on that basic platform prototype with additional functionality: You’ll write a script in Python that will enable the development teams to push fresh data into their existing data products, write a function that adds support for versioned data, and implement a function that automatically calculates specific metadata (like row count and latest timestamp), then prints it to the screen. When you’re finished, you’ll have built a well-functioning, feature-rich, self-serve data platform, and be familiar with the requirements data-producing and data-consuming teams face daily and how to fulfill them.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
