Part 11/18:

Data products are categorized into three types: source-oriented, aggregated, and consumer-oriented.

• Source-oriented data products contain cohesive events generated within a domain, owned by domain teams. For example, an order service publishes "OrderPlaced" and "OrderShipped" events.

• Aggregated data products compile and summarize raw data—for example, daily or weekly order trends.

• Consumer-oriented data products are tailored for specific analytics needs, such as deriving customer location-based behavioral insights or loan eligibility predictions. These are built through join recipes and focused transformations that serve particular use cases.
