Tailored Database Architectures for FinTech In-Depth

Financial Data Document Processing and Analytics

Alibaba Cloud provides the cloud-native workflow from the initial loan application to data analytics. Offload database management to the cloud saves time and money. The scalability and security we provide are essential for your online applications.

For the loan business, we can store the borrower's profiles and needs, carry out precision marketing with less marketing expenses, and achieve more efficient capabilities, with more applications handling per day.

Anti-Fraud, Risk Monitoring, and Control

With AnalyticDB, you can monitor and control risks after user login to protect against any abusive registration, malicious login, abnormal browsing, bot attacking, and suspicious transaction. By collecting user data, you can create a decision engine to set up backlist, whitelist, rules, models, and variable features, so it can efficiently handle fraud scenarios, such as account takeover and promotion abuse. You can also mitigate your account risk with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and a tagging/notifying mechanism.

Time-Series Data with Lindorm (TSDB/InfluxDB): Stock, Exchange, Transaction, and Bill

To visualize the time-series financial data in real-time, first, you will need to store the business financial data into databases or other systems. Then, you can collect data channels from various data sources and store the time-series financial data into a time-series database. Finally, you can view the OHLC/Candlestick data for stocks, exchanges, transactions, and bills. Alibaba Cloud Lindorm (TSDB and InfluxDB) allow you to connect, collect, store, and view time-series data.

Securing Financial Data with Cloud Backup

Alibaba Cloud secures your financial data by the following mechanisms. First, back up the financial database on a local IDC or other cloud using DBS, which stores the backup data in OSS with 99.9999999999% (12 9's) durability. Then, use DBS to back up and recover the financial database (such as RDS and MongoDB) on Alibaba Cloud with backup data in OSS with 99.9999999999% (12 9's) durability. If the financial database fails or crashes on the cloud or a local IDC, you can fast recover from the cloud backup. Build Active-Active financial databases on Alibaba Cloud cross-regions or on/off Alibaba Cloud. For development or testing, you can fast recover to a database instance on Alibaba Cloud.
