Implementing a notification system sending an alert to a fraud detection team

To implement a notification system for sending an alert to a fraud detection team or blocking payments from being processed, you can use the following approach:

1. First, you will need to define a stream or table in KSQL that represents the payments or users that should be flagged as potentially fraudulent. For example, you could use the fraudulent_payments stream that was created in the previous example, which includes all payments made by users who have made more than $1000 in total payments.

2. Next, you will need to define a KSQL query or procedure that sends notifications or takes other action based on the fraudulent payments. One way to do this is to use the CREATE STREAM AS SELECT or CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement to create a stream or table that includes the notifications or actions to be taken.

For example, you could create a stream of notifications using the following KSQL statement:

CREATE STREAM fraud_alerts AS SELECT 'Fraud alert: Payment ' || payment_id || ' made by user ' || user_id || ' is potentially fraudulent!' as message FROM fraudulent_payments;

Alternatively, you could create a table of actions to be taken using the following KSQL statement:

CREATE TABLE fraud_actions AS SELECT payment_id, 'block' as action FROMfraudulent_payments;

3. Finally, you will need to set up a system to consume the notifications or actions produced by the KSQL query or procedure. This could involve writing a custom consumer application that subscribes to the stream or table, and sends the notifications or takes the actions as needed.
