  The data mesh is a novel data management concept that emphasises the
importance of a domain before technology. The concept is still in the early
stages of development and many efforts to implement and use it are expected to
have negative consequences for organizations due to a lack of technological
guidelines and best practices. To mitigate the risk of negative outcomes this
paper proposes the use of the mask-mediator-wrapper architecture as a data mesh
driver. The mask-mediator-wrapper architecture provides a set of prefabricated
configurable components that provide basic functionalities which a data mesh
requires. This paper shows how the two concepts are compatible in terms of
functionality, data modelling, evolvability and aligned capabilities. A
mask-mediator-wrapper driven data mesh facilitates: low-risk adoption trials,
rapid prototyping, standardization, and a guarantee of evolvability.
