Case Study: OneWeb Achieves Faster Data Sharing and a Scalable Data Mesh with data.world

OneWeb pulls data from 700 satellites in data.world to understand outages and keep its global customers happily online

OneWeb, a satellite communications company, needed a way to manage and make sense of massive volumes of data flowing from space to Earth—55 billion rows per day, with some tables exceeding 10 trillion rows. As its data environment grew across 32 Snowflake tenants, OneWeb turned to data.world to help employees find the right data, understand who owned it, and trust its reliability.

data.world implemented an enterprise data catalog and governance solution with semantic search, lineage tracking, and collaboration features to support OneWeb’s data mesh approach. The result was a fully operational data mesh in under a year with a seven-person team, data sharing reduced from weeks to seconds, and dashboard creation time cut from weeks to hours, while automatically cataloging 55 billion rows daily and supporting more than 700 active dashboards.
