Developer Platform
From a first model to data, results and the application around the solver.
Chapters, in reading order
- 01
A useful first optimization model begins with a decision small enough to check by hand.
- 02
From Spreadsheet to Optimization Model
A spreadsheet can contain nearly everything needed for an optimization model, yet still lack a precise statement of what is being chosen.
- 03
Preparing Operational Data for Optimization
The data most likely to mislead an optimization model often looks perfectly ordinary in a spreadsheet.
- 04
Reading Optimization Results With Confidence
A solver's objective value is only part of the story it tells about a result.
- 05
Integrating Optimization into Existing Software
Calling an optimization solver from an application is easy to describe as one API request and much harder to make reliable in production.
