In a function as a service (FaaS) environment, a client utilizes a function executing within a trusted execution environment (TEE) on a FaaS server. A plurality of tenants of the FaaS platform may provide a function to be executed by the FaaS platform via a gateway. Each tenant may provide code and data for any number of functions for execution within any number of TEEs on the FaaS platform and access via the gateway.
