A* algorithm is Ariadne’s thread, Neo4j GDS lib reveals why

Let’s learn, why it’s essential for solving real-world problems

From code in this Proj : Optimizing Routes, Minimizing Costs, Navigating Networks, Let’s Dive into A* !

In ancient Greek myth, the hero Theseus used a ball of thread to escape a labyrinth. But what if that thread could think? What if it could calculate the shortest way out? That’s the idea behind the A* algorithm. And with Neo4j GDS (Graph Data Science) lib, we can build mazes of information and let A* find the best paths within them.

What is this article about

• This article dives into the power of the A* algorithm for solving complex pathfinding problems.
• We’ll use a real-world supply chain example and the Neo4j GDS library to demonstrate how A* finds the most efficient route.
