The Holistic Approach to Building Data Products | Starburst

In this session, Starburst explores the evolution from theory to practice in the world of data products. With a focus on tangible business outcomes, the conversation challenges data professionals to move beyond conceptual discussions of data mesh and start building tangible, consumable data assets that drive value.

You’ll learn why legacy architectures and cloud migration alone aren't enough to solve persistent challenges around data quality, trust, and operational complexity. The session presents a comprehensive framework for building data products—from rethinking roles and responsibilities, such as introducing data product managers, to implementing data contracts, observability, and metadata governance across domains.

This educational discussion delves into how data products shift the focus from ad hoc pipelines to reusable, lifecycle-managed assets with clear ownership, measurable ROI, and genuine business alignment. Discover how leading organizations like Deloitte are adopting this approach internally and with clients to improve time to value, streamline data operations, and promote a product-centric culture across analytics teams.

Whether you're a data engineer, architect, or business stakeholder, this session equips you with the mindset and methodology to successfully implement data products and modernize your data strategy.
