This is a deployable reference repo, not a blog walkthrough: clone it and CDK/CloudFormation stand up a multi-account data mesh, with DataZone as the central catalog and subscription workflow connecting producer and consumer domains.

It’s the full-stack, infrastructure-as-code companion to Data Mesh: Decentralized Domain Ownership — worth deploying once to see domain ownership, a central catalog, and self-serve subscription enforced as actual AWS resources rather than a diagram.
