The Apache Software Foundation develops and maintains open source software projects that significantly impact various domains of computing, from web servers and databases to big data and machine learning. As the volume and velocity of time series data continue to grow, thanks to IoT devices, AI, financial systems, and monitoring tools, more and more companies will rely on the Apache ecosystem to manage and analyze this kind of data.
This article provides a brief tour of the Apache ecosystem for time series data processing and analysis. It will focus on the FDAP stack—Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet—as these projects particularly affect the transport, storage, and processing of large volumes of data.
