FOSDEM 2024: The ups and downs of running enclaves in production

I gave a talk at FOSDEM 2024 in the Confidential Computing devroom on the ups and downs of running enclaves in production.

At Evervault we’d been running production workloads in enclaves for 3 years and built a platform to allow others to onboard and use enclaves easily. The talk covers our experience scaling enclaves and how we load-tested them to optimise our workloads.

I also covered how we built Evervault Enclaves to allow others to leverage what we learned to deploy and use enclaves more easily — a secure, attestable working environment. Evervault Enclaves allows developers to easily deploy Docker containers to a Secure Enclave without the engineering overhead to leverage fully attestable connections to their backend.
