Summary
Monzo's governed data mesh, spanning 100+ teams and 12,000 dbt models, uses four modeling layers (landing, normalized, logical, presentation) with explicit interfaces and CI-enforced validation via their Modelgen CLI tool, cutting warehouse costs 40% and improving data delivery speed 25% while reversing cost growth. The bank is 30% through a company-wide migration to this approach.
