Did Lexicon just accidentally solve the enterprise data problem?

One of the core ideas behind the Data Mesh architecture is that data products should be decentralized and domain-oriented. The main barrier to successfully implementing Data Mesh is that decades of data tooling have assumed that data governance and engineering teams are centralized. ATProto’s Lexicon data definition language, however, deftly balances both the “nouns” and “verbs” of data modeling, making it a promising candidate for implementing a decentrally-managed data architecture.
