Audit #6 and #8, applied to the docs store — the same two bugs KV had, in the same two places. Per-app docs (#6): create/update/delete wrote the row, then emitted best-effort. An outbox failure left a committed doc whose trigger never fired. They now go through `atomic_write::DocsWriter`, whose Postgres impl writes and fans out on one connection in one transaction. Group docs (#8): the service read `count_rows`/`projected_total_bytes` on pooled connections and wrote on another, so concurrent creators each saw the same pre-write count and together overshot the ceiling. `PostgresGroupDocsWriter` takes a per-group advisory lock — on its OWN `docs`-namespaced key, so it serializes against other docs writers to that group but not against KV writers, which draw on a separate ceiling. The bespoke `check_total_bytes` (with its own copy of the upper-bound fast path) is gone; group docs now shares `group_quota::check_group_write` with group KV, so the row ceiling, the projected-bytes ceiling, and the fast path that skips the O(n) SUM scan have exactly one implementation between them. tests/atomic_write.rs gains the docs row-quota race (16 concurrent creators against a ceiling of 4).

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
