How is routing done?
many ways. We will talk about A-star algorithm today.

S 1 E 2 node 1/-10 5/6 1/1 10/10 7/5

which leads us to my first result… A* OpenStreetMap router
written in Ruby https://github.com/itszero/osm-simple-router
which is great… except it’s…
so slow.
How do we improve it?
Moving to neo4j a Graph-based database.
Cypher Query Language MATCH (actor:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(movie:Movie) WHERE movie.title =~ "T.*" RETURN
movie.title as title, collect(actor.name) as cast ORDER BY title ASC LIMIT 10;
Sure it helps having proper storing and querying engine, but
the data is still too much. ~25x improves? 5 secs?

intersections
overlay link 3 5 8*
take Atlanta metro area for an example 2,567,916 nodes ➔
452,313 (-83%) 10,669,432 relationships ➔ 1,843,440 (-83%) 4.65 secs. routing time ➔ 1.30 secs.
Now we have the algorithm, all we need to do
is plug it into the database.
which leads us to my second result… A* OpenStreetMap router
for Neo4j https://github.com/itszero/neo4j-astar-example (code is really ugly tho)
