+title: Announcing Apache Teaclave (incubating) 0.1.0
+date: 2020-10-22
+author: Mingshen Sun
+---
+
+On behalf of the Teaclave community, I am happy to announce the *first* Apache
+Incubator release of Teaclave, 0.1.0. Teaclave is a universal secure computing
+platform, making computation on privacy-sensitive data safe and simple.
+
+The 0.1.0 release marks an important milestone for the Teaclave community. This
+is the first public release of the Teaclave platform, moreover, this is the
+first official release since we entered Apache Incubator on August 19, 2019.
+
+## Project highlights
+
+Since this is our first public release, I still want to emphasize the highlights
+of the Teaclave project.
+
+Apache Teaclave (incubating) has following highlights:
+
+- **Security**: Teaclave adopts multiple security technologies to enable secure
+ computing, in particular, Teaclave uses Intel SGX to serve the most
+ security-sensitive tasks with *hardware-based isolation*, *memory encryption*
+ and *attestation*. Also, Teaclave is written in Rust to prevent
+ *memory-safety* issues.
+- **Functionality**: Teaclave is provided as a *function-as-a-service platform*.
+ With many built-in functions, it supports tasks like machine learning, private
+ set intersection, crypto computation, etc. In addition, developers can also
+ deploy and execute Python scripts in Teaclave. More importantly, unlike
+ traditional FaaS, Teaclave supports both general secure computing tasks and
+ *flexible single- and multi-party secure computation*.
+- **Usability**: Teaclave builds its components in containers, therefore, it
+ supports deployment both locally and within cloud infrastructures. Teaclave
+ also provides convenient endpoint APIs, client SDKs and command line tools.
+- **Modularity**: Components in Teaclave are designed in modular, and some like
+ remote attestation can be easily embedded in other projects. In addition,
+ Teaclave SGX SDK can also be used separately to write standalone SGX enclaves
+ for other purposes.
+
+
+## Changes since entering Apache Incubator
+
+Since we entered Apache Incubator, we started an ambitious task of refactoring
+and improving the project in many perspectives. These include:
+
+* Supporting function and data registration.
+ - input data of a function can be fetched from external storage
+ - reuse registered function in new tasks
+* Redesigning function development workflow.
+ - developers only need to write python script with native libraries written in Rust
+* Providing persistent database implementation.
+ - port rusty-leveldb to SGX enclave using protected FS to secure file I/O
+ - add dedicated database service called "storage service" for data persistency
+* Supporting protobuf compatible RPC protocol.
+ - refactor existing service protocol with `.proto` files
+ - redesign PRC protocol with remote attestation
+* Supporting distributed workers.
+ - support docker deployment
+ - decouple services into different containers
+* Supporting customized workers.
+ - service provider can deploy with other kinds of customized workers besides builtin worker
+* Providing better documentation.
+* Providing better error handling.
+ - errors can be propagated through RPC
+ - better error triage
+* Testsuite cleanup/refactoring.
+* Implementing more built-in functions: we have 9 built-in functions including
+ echo, face detection, gbdt predict/train, logistic regression predict/train,
+ online decrypt, ordered set intersect, private join and comput, and RSA sign.
+* Supporting more flexible attestation mechanisms (DCAP): providing a reference
+ implementation of DCAP attestation service and supporting DCAP in our
+ attestation library and build system as well.
+* RPC enhancement.
+ - multi-language client
+* Many other changes.
+
+These changes include 876 files changed, 78,237 insertions and 54,846 deletions.
+We have also closed 102 issues on GitHub to answer questions from the community
+and implementing feature requests.
+
+## Download
+
+Teaclave 0.1.0 can be downloaded at [the download page](/download/). Note that
+it is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded file using the
+PGP signature (.asc file) or a hash (.md5 or .sha* file).
+
+## Documentation
+
+If it is the first time to try Teaclave, we provide a simple but clear tutorial
+to guide you getting stated with Teaclave by invoking
+[your first function](/docs/my-first-function/) in Teaclave.
+
+Basically, you can build the Teaclave platform using docker with these commands:
+
+```sh
+$ cd incubator-teaclave
+$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/teaclave -w /teaclave \
+ -it teaclave/teaclave-build-ubuntu-1804-sgx-2.9.1:latest \
+ bash -c ". /root/.cargo/env && \
+ . /opt/sgxsdk/environment && \
+ mkdir -p build && cd build && \
+ cmake -DTEST_MODE=ON .. && \
+ make"
+```
+
+Launch all services with `docker-compose`:
+
+```sh
+$ (cd docker && docker-compose -f docker-compose-ubuntu-1804.yml up --build)
+```
+
+And invoke function with a Python client:
+
+```sh
+$ cd examples/python
+$ PYTHONPATH=../../sdk/python python3 builtin_echo.py 'Hello, Teaclave!'
+[+] registering user
+[+] login
+[+] registering function
+[+] creating task
+[+] approving task
+[+] invoking task
+[+] getting result
+[+] done
+[+] function return: b'Hello, Teaclave!'
+```
+
+If you want to understand the internals of Teaclave, we provide several
+documents about the [design](/docs/#design) of Teaclave. Also, we extensively
+document our [codebase](docs/#codebase) in each sub directories. At last, [API references](docs/#api-references)
+are automatically generated and uploaded to our homepage.
+
+## Community
+
+Along our road to the first public release, we also see the growth of the
+community who started to follow the project and using in their products. We have
+seen at least four [organizations](community/#organizations) using Teaclave in
+their products, and more than nine open source [projects](community/#projects)
+building on top of Teaclave platform or Teaclave SGX SDK.
+
+We build several channels to communicate with the community including GitHub issues,
+[mailing lists](https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@teaclave.apache.org), and
+Twitter account ([@ApacheTeaclave](https://twitter.com/ApacheTeaclave)).
+
+We also attended ApacheCon this year to introduce Teaclave to the Apache community.
+If you missed the talk, please find the slides and other materials of talks,
+papers, and related articles at [this page](/docs/papers-talks/).
+
+## Thanks
+
+I'd like to thank all [contributors](/contributors/) to build this community.
+Thanks to our project [mentors](/contributors/#mentors), who help us to
+understand the Apache way of open source. Furthermore,
+thanks to all [PPMC members and committers](/contributors/#committers)
+for governing and expanding the community, organizing meetups, discussing
+roadmap, designing components, writing documents, contributing code, and
+advertising the project. Moreover, thanks to all [external contributors](/contributors/#contributors-2)
+who send pull requests to fix bugs
+and implementing features. In addition, I'd like to thank people who tries
+Teaclave themselves, files bugs or feature requests. This also helps us to
+understand the project and figure out where we can improve.
+Finally, I'd like to thank companies who use Teaclave and contributing back to
+the community.
+
+At last, 0.1.0 is just the start of Teaclave, we will continue working hard with
+the community implementing new features, writing documents, and expanding the
+community.
+
+Happy Teaclaving. Cheers!
