The FDAP stack, which stands for Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet, is a set of open-source technologies used to build data-centric systems. InfluxDB 3.0, a time series database, leverages the FDAP stack to achieve faster performance, scalability, and integration with other systems. The stack provides reusable components that enable developers to focus on application logic rather than building low-level, complex table stakes OLAP technology. By using Arrow for efficient data representation, Flight for fast network communication, DataFusion for modular and state-of-the-art analytic query engine, and Parquet for well-compressed storage, InfluxDB 3.0 achieves faster performance, scalability, and integration with other systems. The FDAP stack is expected to play a significant role in underpinning next-generation data systems, similar to the LAMP stack did for web application development.
