Intent-based enterprise data management for simplified data governance

A system comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors, operatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at each module of a plurality of modules, intent metadata associated with a data product instance of a data mesh, wherein each module corresponds to a unique data governance category of a plurality of data governance categories, and wherein a request associated with data was intercepted at the data product instance;
• receiving, at each module, policy metadata associated with the data governance category corresponding to the module;
• determining, at each module and based on the intent metadata and the policy metadata, whether the request is valid for the data governance category corresponding to the module;
• and
• transmitting, by each module, an indication of whether the request is valid for the module.

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor of a user device, cause the processor to execute a method comprising:

• receiving, at each module of a plurality of modules, intent metadata associated with a data product instance of a data mesh, wherein each module corresponds to a unique data governance category of a plurality of data governance categories, and wherein a request associated with data was intercepted at the data product instance;
• receiving, at each module, policy metadata associated with the data governance category corresponding to the module;
• determining, at each module and based on the intent metadata and the policy metadata, whether the request is valid for the data governance category corresponding to the module;
• and
• transmitting, by each module, an indication of whether the request is valid for the module.
