Data Governance Implementation Approach for Multi-Database Environment (MongoDB & PostgreSQL)
Given the current state where application data is distributed across MongoDB (NoSQL/document store) and PostgreSQL (relational/SQL), we recommend a federated data governance model that respects each database's strengths while establishing unified governance controls. This approach balances centralized policy with decentralized implementation.
2. Guiding Principles
Database-Agnostic Policies: Define governance requirements independent of underlying technology
Proportional Controls: Implement controls based on data sensitivity, not database type
Unified Metadata Layer: Single source of truth for data lineage, classification, and ownership
Minimal Application Impact: Governance implementation should not require major application rewrites
3. Proposed Governance Framework
3.1 Organizational Structure
Data Governance Council (Strategic)
Data Stewards (Business Domain Owners)
Database Custodians (Technical Implementation)
Data Consumers (Application Teams)
