Summary

Evervault's Relay is a globally distributed encryption proxy designed to simplify field-level encryption for developers by integrating seamlessly with applications, acting as both an ingress and egress gateway. With Relay, sensitive data is encrypted before reaching servers and decrypted before being sent to trusted third parties, ensuring that data never exists in plaintext. Built using Rust, with Tokio and Hyper, and deployed on ECS Fargate, Relay optimizes developer experience by abstracting encryption's complexity while providing low latency and high reliability. Relay uses mutual TLS to communicate with the Evervault Encryption Engine (E3) and manages its configuration through AWS services like SNS and S3. Additionally, it generates insights from traffic patterns without compromising user data, aiming to enhance API security and performance.
