Description

AME Digital, a Brazilian fintech digital wallet with over 33 million customers, used Delta Lake, MLflow and Unity Catalog on the Databricks Data + AI Platform to unify over 700 previously siloed datasets and build a fraud detection algorithm that analyzes transactions in real time to flag suspicious behavior before it occurs. The model reached 90% accuracy in fraud prevention, ran 3.2x faster than the prior on-premises pipeline, and helped cut operational costs by 34% and job execution time from 5.5 hours to 50 minutes.

Problem

AME Digital managed over 700 datasets often isolated in data silos within different teams and systems, on a legacy on-premises Hadoop environment that was complex, costly and of limited scalability, which caused error-prone, resource-intensive workflows, hindered predictive fraud solutions, created regulatory compliance challenges, and drove up storage and compute costs.

What complicated matters most was the existing legacy data infrastructure, based on an on-premises Hadoop environment, which posed roadblocks due to its complexity, high costs and limited scalability — bringing innovation to a standstill. “Once we grew, we needed to expand the d…

Solution

AME Digital chose the Databricks Data + AI Platform for its unified environment, using Delta Lake to centralize over 700 datasets, MLflow to manage machine learning cycles for a fraud-catching algorithm, Unity Catalog to manage and secure PII and access controls, Photon for large-scale query performance, and Power BI integration for reporting, with Databricks-certified partner Eleflow Big Data helping analyze data in real time and migrate from 1TB to over 400TB of data.
