Building a Fraud Detection Application with Superblocks, Kafka and MongoDB

Fraudulent transfers are a significant source of revenue loss in the financial services sector, estimated at $42 billion by PwC's 2022 report. To combat this issue, Superblocks enables developers to build real-time fraud detection applications for customer support teams by integrating with streaming sources like Kafka. In this tutorial, a real-time fraud detection application is built using Superblocks, which streams transactions in real time from the native Kafka integration to the UI and integrates with MongoDB to store transaction logs. The application allows customer support reps to review suspicious transactions as they occur and take immediate action by approving or rejecting them, saving this information in a secure MongoDB database. Superblocks' drag-and-drop functionality and built-in UI components make it easy for developers to create intuitive interfaces and integrate with other systems like email and Slack for alerts and notifications.
