This document introduces Apache Arrow and PyArrow, describing them as a full-stack solution for data engineering. It discusses how PyArrow provides access to Apache Arrow's capabilities through Python, including representing data as columnar arrays and tables. It explains how PyArrow tables can be used for analytics and how data can be efficiently transferred between disk, memory, and over networks using Arrow formats and Flight. It also discusses how Arrow interacts with databases through standards like ADBC and FlightSQL.
