Analytics & Insights

SQL Query Examples

Cohort Analysis

-- Track customer retention by signup month
WITH cohorts AS (
    SELECT 
        customer_id,
        DATE_FORMAT(account_created_date, '%Y-%m') as cohort_month
    FROM customer_profile
)
SELECT 
    cohort_month,
    COUNT(*) as customers,
    AVG(credit_score) as avg_credit_score
FROM cohorts
JOIN customer_profile USING (customer_id)
GROUP BY cohort_month
ORDER BY cohort_month;

Risk Stratification

-- Segment customers by risk level
SELECT 
    CASE 
        WHEN credit_score >= 750 THEN 'Prime'
        WHEN credit_score >= 700 THEN 'Standard'
        WHEN credit_score >= 650 THEN 'Subprime'
        WHEN credit_score >= 600 THEN 'Near Prime'
        ELSE 'High Risk'
    END as risk_tier,
    COUNT(*) as customer_count,
    AVG(loan_amount) as avg_loan_amount,
    AVG(interest_rate) as avg_interest_rate
FROM customer_profile
JOIN loan_application USING (customer_id)
GROUP BY risk_tier
ORDER BY 
    FIELD(risk_tier, 'Prime', 'Standard', 'Subprime', 'Near Prime', 'High Risk');

Payment Behavior Analysis

-- Analyze payment patterns by customer segment
SELECT 
    c.employment_type,
    COUNT(DISTINCT p.loan_id) as total_loans,
    SUM(CASE WHEN p.payment_status = 'On Time' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as on_time_payments,
    SUM(CASE WHEN p.payment_status = 'Late' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as late_payments,
    ROUND(AVG(p.days_past_due), 2) as avg_days_past_due,
    ROUND(SUM(p.amount_paid), 2) as total_amount_paid
FROM customer_profile c
JOIN loan_application l ON c.customer_id = l.customer_id
JOIN repayment_history p ON l.loan_id = p.loan_id
GROUP BY c.employment_type
ORDER BY total_amount_paid DESC;

Security

Best Practices Implemented

Environment variables for sensitive credentials (.env)
.gitignore configured to exclude sensitive files
No hardcoded passwords or API keys
CORS configuration for API security
SQL injection prevention through parameterized queries
Input validation on all API endpoints
Error handling without exposing sensitive information

Recommendations

Use HTTPS in production
Implement API rate limiting
Add authentication/authorization (JWT tokens)
Enable database encryption at rest
Regular security audits and updates
Monitor for suspicious activity

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Database Connection Error

Error: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server")

Solution: Verify MySQL is running and credentials in .env are correct

Missing Dependencies

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fastapi'

Solution: pip install -r requirements.txt

Port Already in Use

Error: [Errno 48] Address already in use

Solution: Change port in api_server.py or kill process using port 8000

Data Not Loading

FileNotFoundError: german_credit.csv not found

Solution: Ensure data file exists in data/processed/ directory
