£1.17 billion was lost to payment fraud in the UK last year. Most of it could have been stopped in milliseconds - if the right data was moving fast enough. In this 1-hour hackathon, build a real-time fraud detection pipeline that catches suspicious transactions the instant they happen, not hours later in a batch report.

You'll learn key skills including setting up a live transaction pipeline, writing pattern detection rules that flag anomalous behaviour as it happens, connecting a real-time view to monitor flagged transactions as they fire, and working with core Confluent concepts: topics, producers, consumers and stream processing.

Walk away with a fully working fraud detection system AND the skills to apply it to your own data pipelines.

Show up, build, and win — first to finish takes home a DJI Drone 🏆 and every participant gets a limited-edition Confluent T-shirt!
