Lesson 14: Risk Scoring & Real-time Transaction Monitoring

Introduction

Design Risk Scoring system. Real-time transaction monitoring with stream processing. Velocity checks, pattern detection. Risk-based authentication.


1. Design Risk Scoring system

1.1 Basic concepts

Risk Scoring system design is one of the most important topics in this field. Understanding the core concepts will help you design the right system from the beginning.

Key Concepts:
├── Concept 1: Nền tảng lý thuyết
├── Concept 2: Áp dụng thực tế
├── Concept 3: Best practices
└── Concept 4: Anti-patterns cần tránh

2.2 Component Design

Each component in the system needs to be designed with the following principles:

  • Single Responsibility: Each component only takes on one responsibility
  • Loose Coupling: Minimize dependencies between components
  • High Cohesion: Related elements are in the same component
  • Interface Segregation: Clear, separate API

3. Velocity checks, pattern detection

3.1 Design Patterns applied

Applied Patterns:
├── Strategy Pattern: Cho phép thay đổi algorithm at runtime
├── Observer Pattern: Event notification mechanism
├── Repository Pattern: Data access abstraction
└── Factory Pattern: Object creation flexibility

3.2 Code Example

// Example implementation
public interface Service {
    Result process(Request request);
    boolean supports(RequestType type);
}

@Component
public class CoreService implements Service {

    @Override
    public Result process(Request request) {
        // Validate input
        validator.validate(request);

        // Execute business logic
        var result = businessLogic.execute(request);

        // Publish domain event
        eventBus.publish(new ProcessedEvent(result));

        return result;
    }
}

4. Risk-based authentication.

4.1 Monitoring & Observability

Observability Stack:
├── Metrics: Prometheus + Grafana
├── Logging: ELK / Loki
├── Tracing: OpenTelemetry + Jaeger
└── Alerting: PagerDuty

4.2 Performance Optimization

MetricsTargetStrategy
Latency p99< 100msCaching, async processing
Throughput> 10K RPSHorizontal scaling
Availability99.99%Multi-region, failover
Error rate< 0.01%Circuit breaker, retry
