`PostgresDeadLetterService` lands as the real `DeadLetterService`
impl, replacing `NoopDeadLetterService` in the picloud binary's
`Services` bundle. Both methods are gated by
`Capability::AppDeadLetterManage(AppId)` — public-HTTP scripts with
`principal: None` fail the check, per design notes §4.
- `dead_letters::replay(id)` (Rhai SDK + admin endpoint): re-inserts
the original event payload into the outbox with attempt_count=0,
reply_to=None. The DL row is marked `resolution='replayed'`.
- `dead_letters::resolve(id, reason)` (Rhai SDK + admin endpoint):
closes the row with `resolved_at = NOW()` and the given reason.
CHECK constraint on the column enforces the 4-value vocabulary.
- `dead_letters::list(filter)` is intentionally NOT shipped —
design notes §4 defers it to v1.2 to align with the eventual
`docs::find()` query DSL.
Admin endpoints under `/api/v1/admin/apps/{id}/dead_letters/*`:
- `GET /` (with `?unresolved=true`) → list view
- `GET /count` → unresolved-count badge
- `GET /{dl_id}` → row detail (full payload + error)
- `POST /{dl_id}/replay` → re-enqueue
- `POST /{dl_id}/resolve` body `{reason}` → close out
All cross-app-aware: the row's `app_id` is compared against the path
param so a caller with rights on app A cannot manipulate app B's
dead letters by id alone.
The Rhai bridge for `dead_letters::*` follows the same sync↔async
pattern as the `kv::` bridge (`Handle::current().block_on(...)`
inside the spawn_blocking-wrapped Rhai engine).

PiCloud
A lightweight, self-hosted, event-driven serverless compute platform. Upload a Rhai script, get an HTTP endpoint. Designed to run on a single modest server with no idle CPU cost, and to scale out to a small cluster when you need it.
Status: Phase 1 — MVP scaffolding in progress.
The authoritative design lives in
serverless_cloud_blueprint.md.
Why
Existing serverless platforms are either cloud-locked, heavyweight, or both. PiCloud aims for the opposite end of the spectrum: one binary, one database, one reverse proxy — running on hardware you already own.
Architecture (one paragraph)
PiCloud splits into three logical services — manager (control plane: scripts, schedules, dashboard), orchestrator (per-node event ingress and dispatch), and executor (per-node Rhai sandbox) — each backed by a *-core Rust library. In MVP they run in a single process; in cluster mode they run as three binaries with one manager and one orchestrator + executor per node. Caddy fronts everything; PostgreSQL is the single source of truth.
See CLAUDE.md for working notes and serverless_cloud_blueprint.md for the full design.
Quick Start
Coming as scaffolding lands. For now:
# Rust toolchain (pinned via rust-toolchain.toml)
cargo check --workspace
# Run the all-in-one MVP binary (once main.rs is wired up)
cargo run -p picloud
