The Rhai SDK email::send path went straight to the SMTP relay with no
admission control. EmailRateLimiter lived in users_service.rs (gating
verification + password-reset emails) but was unreachable from the SDK
surface. Any anonymous-callable HTTP-route script could loop email::send
to burn the operator's SMTP quota or BCC-bomb thousands of recipients
per request.
Two new caps on EmailServiceImpl, both fire BEFORE message assembly +
SMTP connect:
1. Per-message recipient cap (to+cc+bcc combined). Default 20, override
with PICLOUD_EMAIL_MAX_RECIPIENTS. New EmailError::TooManyRecipients
variant. Closes the BCC-bomb amplification path.
2. EmailRateLimiter inlined into EmailServiceImpl:
* Per-(app, recipient): RECIPIENT_BURST=5 / RECIPIENT_WINDOW=60min.
* Per-app daily: APP_DAILY_CAP=200 / 24h.
The structure mirrors users_service's private limiter; defense-in-
depth redundancy is fine since the gates are identical and never
conflict. New EmailError::RateLimited(&'static str) variant; the
string names which bucket tripped so the operator can act.
users_service::map_email_error grows two cases (mapped to
EmailTransport for the script-facing error shape).
Tests:
* too_many_recipients_rejected — 30 recipients, default cap 20, rejected
with TooManyRecipients.
* per_recipient_burst_caps_repeated_send_to_same_address — 6 sends to
the same address; 6th returns RateLimited("per-recipient burst").

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
