Maksym Tkach, Chief Technology Officer at Frogo, sits down with us to discuss the company's breakthrough innovations in fraud prevention. From solving the hardest latency challenges in real-time detection to building a scalable, cloud-native architecture with Go and microservices, he shares how Frogo became the trusted partner for high-risk industries like fintech and iGaming. What's the biggest technical challenge you solved while building Frogo's real-time fraud detection engine? That's a great question. The single biggest challenge was resolving the fundamental conflict between detection complexity and real-time performance. Our clients, especially in fintech and iGaming, need to evaluate dozens, sometimes hundreds of data points and rules in a single transaction. But they also have strict SLAs, often under 500 milliseconds, because any added latency directly costs them money in lost conversions or rejected transactions. Doing both seemed impossible. Our breakthrough came when we broke the problem down into two parts: rule orchestration and data retrieval. For rule orchestration, we found that standard sequential rule engines were too slow. Many rules could be run in parallel, but some depended on the output of others. To solve this, my team and I designed a proprietary dependency graph execution engine we call 'LTee'. It stands for Layered Tree. Before processing a transaction, LTee analyses the entire rule set and organises it into layers. Layer 1 contains all independent rules that can be executed in parallel immediately. Layer 2 contains rules that depend on Layer 1's results, and so on. This model allows us to achieve maximum parallelisation while respecting data dependencies. In the worst case, it runs sequentially but for most transactions, it dramatically reduces execution time. For data retrieval, the bottleneck was calculating complex aggregations on the fly, for example, 'What's the 95th percentile of this user's transaction amount over the last 7 days?'. Querying a traditional database for this during a transaction is a non-starter for our latency budget. So, we made a strategic trade-off. We use Aerospike as a specialised time-series aggregation store. We pre-calculate and store metrics like standard deviation, percentiles and averages across various time windows and granularities. It consumes more storage, but it turns a computationally expensive query into a simple, sub-millisecond key-value lookup. For high-cardinality counts, like 'how many distinct devices has this user logged in from?', we use the proprietary approach algorithm to get near-instant, memory-efficient estimates. By combining these solutions, we turned our engine from a sequential process into a highly parallelised system fueled by pre-computed data. The result was a reduction in our p99 latency from over 5000ms to under 300ms, even with complex rule sets. This didn't just meet our SLAs; it became our core competitive advantage and allowed us to win major clients who had previously found other systems to be too slow. Why did you choose Go and a microservice architecture, and how has it shaped Frogo's scalability? This was a foundational decision driven by our need for performance, reliability, and developer velocity. For the language, we chose Go for three specific reasons: 1. Exceptional Concurrency for Our Workload: Fraud detection is an I/O-bound problem. For a single API call, we might need to fetch user data from Aerospike, check a device fingerprint, and query a 3rd party service simultaneously. Go's goroutines are lightweight and perfect for this. We can fire off thousands of concurrent operations efficiently, which is key to keeping our latency low. A language with heavier threads, like Java, would have been far less resource-efficient for our specific use case. 2. Performance and Simplicity: We adhere to the KISS principle. Go is simple to read and write, which speeds up onboarding for new engineers and reduces bugs. Critically, i...
