How I Built a Real-Time Fraud Detection System That Handles 71,000 RPS at p95 <6ms
The article discusses the development of Sentinel, a real-time fraud detection system capable of processing 71,000 requests per second with a response time of under 6 milliseconds. It highlights the challenges of fraud detection, including the need for real-time classification and high accuracy. The author shares insights on using XGBoost and ONNX for model training and inference, emphasizing the performance benefits of implementing the system in Go.
- ▪Sentinel processes 7.8 million requests with zero errors using machine learning techniques.
- ▪The system was designed to handle high throughput while maintaining accuracy and minimizing downtime.
- ▪The author trained the model on a heavily imbalanced dataset and achieved a PR-AUC of 0.87.
