Ultra-Low Latency Neural Fraud Detection Mesh

Apex Global Financial Network · 12 weeks

The challenge

Rule-based fraud detection generated 18% false positives during peak shopping festivals, losing millions in legitimate customer sales.

The solution

A hybrid graph neural network and transformer ensemble compiled with vLLM/ONNX on bare-metal Kubernetes nodes with eBPF network routing.

Architecture highlights

  • Sub-14 ms P99 decision latency at 45k TPS peak throughput
  • Real-time transaction graph traversal using Memgraph and Redis
  • Zero-downtime hot-swapping of fine-tuned weights
  • Explainability audit logs satisfying international banking regulations
The latency went from 180 ms down to 12 ms while cutting our compute bill almost in half.
