14M TPS Sub-Millisecond Fraud Detection Pipeline
THE CHALLENGE
A tier-1 global payments processor was experiencing 250ms+ P99 latency in their legacy Java monolithic fraud engine during peak volume spikes, causing transaction timeouts, false positives, and over $40M in annual fraud exposure.
THE HELIOPAUSE SOLUTION
We designed and deployed a distributed Rust/Tokio stream processing pipeline over high-throughput Apache Kafka. Custom SIMD-accelerated neural scoring engines were colocated at the edge with zero-copy shared memory queues.
MEASURED BUSINESS OUTCOMES
- 6.2ms P99 latency achieved at 14.2M Peak TPS (40x speedup).
- $34M+ Annual fraudulent transactions prevented in the first 12 months.
- 99.999% Zero unplanned downtime during global Cyber Week peaks.
