EdgelessDB: A Database Designed for Confidential Computing
- pytlicek 5y agoNot bad. Runtime protection of the data is really good/useful. Lets see where this project will go :)
- melony 5y ago> Enclaves can protect against threats like malware or rootkits and even rogue administrators and physical intruders. What will they do when the government comes knocking with a subpoena?
- DSingularity 5y agoTrace them enclaves with some side-channels. These things are not as secure as people think.
- hulitu 5y agoIn Rome (US) do like the romans (Google). They just give them Bing to search telemetry data.
- otterley 5y agoRun “SELECT * FROM table” on the client side and give the results to them.
- uluyol 5y agoThat performance is really impressive. I'm no expert in this space, but I was expecting somewhere around 30% the throughput of a regular DB. They are way higher than that.
- babelfish 5y agoWhy are they trying to compare the required manifest to blockchain? Seems like an unnecessary comparison for SEO
- otterley 5y agoI wonder how practical this is in reality. Production databases need Day 2 operations and capabilities like backups, replication, etc. Enclaves aren’t connected to the network, so you can’t practically back them up, nor can you replicate them for HA or DR purposes.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoOuch, the guys at edgedb are going to be sad about the name competition from microsoft.
- babaganoosh89 5y agoIf the reverse happened, no doubt Microsoft would be sending cease and desists to edgedb.
- WalterGR 5y agoHas Microsoft been particularly litigious of late? Pearl clutching over Microsoft’s use of telemetry (which Google never uses, by contrast) has turned into full-blown Slashdot-style insanity.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoWhat you call insanity, I call keeping check on power abusers, and MS has decades of track record of that. The fact they started to play nicer the last few years doesn't magically erase lying, cheating, corrupting and trolling for 20 years. Also google gets it fair share of criticism. In fact, I think we don't make enough noise given the few people outside of our bubble that knows about it.
- WalterGR 5y agoThere are roughly as many comments here about subpoenas, litigation, and naming everything with "Edge" as there are total comments on "Android phones are sending significant amount of user data with no opt-out" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28830328 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28830328
- zimmerfrei 5y agoThe title is a bit misleading: EdgelessDB was not developed by Microsoft but by a German startup (Edgeless Systems, https://www.edgeless.systems/ https://www.edgeless.systems/ and https://github.com/edgelesssys/edgelessdb https://github.com/edgelesssys/edgelessdb). The announcement is about its availability on the Azure Marketplace.

- dang 5y agoFixed above. Thanks!
- krilovsky 5y agoNote: while it is based on MariaDB, it replaces InnoDB (the MariaDB/MySQL storage engine) with MyRocks (which is based on RocksDB), and as a consequence it is missing some features (such as foreign keys[1]) that prevent it from being usable in many applications.

- tester756 5y agothis is genuine question but why lately everything is Edge? Edge Computing, Edge Devices, Edge Infrastructure, Edge Browser, Edge yada yada.
- imwillofficial 5y agoBecause we’re seeing the tock, to the Cloud’s tick. Many aspects of compute are moving out of the data center and closer to the end user.
- iamstupidsimple 5y agoThe natural cycle between centralisation and decentralisation.
- robbedpeter 5y agoCorporate marketing types have to justify their existence by rebranding everything, and they're like sharks in a never ending feeding frenzy.
