First v1.1.1 commit. Adds the KV store the design notes commit to: `(app_id, collection, key)` identity with JSONB value and a per-app index. Trait lives in `picloud-shared` so the executor-core Rhai bridge (next commit), the Postgres impl, and tests all depend on the same surface without coupling crates. The `Services` bundle grows from empty to three fields: `kv`, `dead_letters` (NoopDeadLetterService stub — replaced by the Postgres impl in commit 8), and `events` (NoopEventEmitter until the outbox emitter lands with the dispatcher). Tests use `Services::default()` for an all-noop bundle. New capabilities `AppKvRead` / `AppKvWrite` join the Capability enum. They map onto the existing seven-value `Scope` (script:read / script:write) — the scope vocabulary stays locked per the `docs/versioning.md` commitment. Script-as-gate semantics in `KvServiceImpl`: capability check runs when `cx.principal.is_some()`, skipped when None (public HTTP). Cross-app isolation is enforced independently by deriving every row's `app_id` from `cx.app_id` rather than a script-passed argument. In-memory `KvRepo` impl + unit tests cover the round-trips, the cross-app isolation property, empty-collection rejection, script-as-gate behaviour for both anonymous and authed contexts, and cursor-style pagination. Postgres impl exists; integration testing waits for a real DB harness (see HANDBACK). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
