Marketplace

The Marketplace module is the Data Product marketplace, where consumers can search and discover all the data products in your mesh, as well as access key information such as version, domain, status, and environments. The Marketplace is the module that enables to data consumers to easily discover and explore the whole data mesh.

Within this module, consumers can interact directly with data product owners, through questions, eliminating the risk of data information loss, and managing accountability to provide full transparency about data products across the entire company. Inside the marketplace, a data product owner makes all the output ports available for consumption, with documentation, metadata, and the capability for consumers to easily request access to them.

Moreover, you don’t need to worry about compliance, if data products are available in the marketplace, that means they have already passed all policies checks, best practices and standards. witboost automatically performs all compliance checks, that you have defined when publishing a data product.

Inside this module, consumers can:

• Search and discover data products available in the marketplace
• Understand what domains and data products are available in the different domains, and how they are connected
• Access data product details and consume one of the available output ports by requesting access
• Read and create reviews
• Read answers and ask questions to data product owners
• View all data products and inspect their dependencies through the Dependencies Graph
• Review KPIs, statistics and real-time data through Mesh Supervision

You can think of the marketplace as an actual e-commerce module, where each data product has its page to "sell" it to consumers; this page not only contains the data product details but also some ways for the consumer to express their satisfaction in consuming it.
