Cloud architecture patterns

There are two common usage patterns of Timefold Solver in the cloud:

  • Batch planning: Typically runs at night for hours to solve each tenant’s dataset and deliver each schedule for the upcoming day(s) or week(s). Only the final best solution is sent back to the client. This is a good fit for a serverless cloud architecture.

  • Real-time planning: Typically runs during the day, to handle unexpected problem changes as they occur in real-time and sends each best solution as they are discovered to the client.
