挑战
Cozy, a startup that offers a platform to streamline interactions between property managers and renters, was facing a significant challenge with fraud. With listings and renters in 13,000 cities nationwide, the company was experiencing both payment fraud and content abuse in the form of fake rental listings. Fraudsters were using fake rentals to ask for wire deposits from unsuspecting renters. As the company expanded its payment options beyond ACH to credit card, the problem only grew. Cozy needed a solution that could keep up with their wide user base and prevent fraud before it resulted in losses.

KeyBank's Digital Transformation with Confluent's Data in Motion
KeyBank, one of the nation's largest bank-based financial services companies, embarked on a national digital bank initiative following the acquisition of Laurel Road, a digital consumer lending business. The initiative aimed to build a digital bank focused on healthcare professionals looking to refinance student loans and buy homes. A significant challenge was reducing the time to market for new products by democratizing data and decoupling systems across the IT landscape. Like many large enterprises, KeyBank had a variety of vendor applications, custom applications, and other systems that were tightly coupled to one another. New projects often required developing specific point-to-point integrations for exchanging data, which did not address the needs of other downstream systems that could benefit from the same data.

Bank BRI: Revolutionizing Financial Inclusion in Asia with Digital Banking
Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Bank BRI), one of the largest banks in Indonesia, was faced with the challenge of increasing financial inclusion among unbanked Indonesians. The bank had an ambitious target of having 84 percent of Indonesians participating in the banking system by 2022. However, the bank's legacy technologies were proving to be a hindrance in achieving this goal. Each of the bank's products had their own public APIs, which were difficult to manage, secure, and monetize. Additionally, the process of onboarding new partners using host-to-host and VPN technology was time-consuming, taking up to six months. The bank also faced the challenge of reaching a largely rural population, with an estimated $8.3 billion in currency being held outside the banking system.

Aerospike Achieves One Million Writes Per Second on Google Compute Engine with Just 50 Nodes
Aerospike, an open-source, flash-optimized, in-memory NoSQL database, was looking to push the boundaries of Google's speed on Google Compute Engine.
