Three threads landing together because they share a public surface
(the new execution_log shape) and verifying any one in isolation
would mean re-doing the work later.
== (A) execution log persistence ==
* shared::ExecutionLog + ExecutionStatus carry the audit-trail
shape that flows from the orchestrator through the sink and
back out via the manager's logs endpoint.
* shared::ExecutionLogSink trait — abstraction the orchestrator
writes through. In single-process MVP mode the manager's
Postgres-backed impl is plugged in directly; in cluster mode
(v1.3+) the orchestrator's impl will post over HTTP to the
manager. Trait lives in `shared` so neither *-core crate has
to know about the other.
* manager-core::PostgresExecutionLogSink writes to the
execution_logs table (already in the initial migration);
PostgresExecutionLogRepository reads them back, paginated.
AdminState now carries both a script repo and a log repo, so
`admin_router` exposes `GET /scripts/{id}/logs?limit=&offset=`
capped at 200 rows per page to keep the dashboard responsive.
* orchestrator-core::DataPlaneState gains `log_sink`. The
execute handler builds an ExecutionLog on every outcome —
success, error, timeout, budget-exceeded — and awaits the
sink. Sink failures are logged at warn and DO NOT mask the
user-facing result, since "we couldn't write the audit row"
is a separate concern from "the script ran".
* picloud binary refactored into a lib (`build_app(pool)` is
the seam) + thin bin shell. Same Postgres pool backs the
script repo, the log repo, and the sink — no double pool.
== (B) dashboard ==
* Typed API client extended with `scripts.logs(id, opts)`,
`scripts.update/remove`, and `execute(id, body, headers)`.
Plain `fetch` wrapper now surfaces server-side error
messages via a typed ApiError so the UI can render them.
* `/` — create-script form now actually creates; on success
the list reloads. List entries link to detail.
* `/scripts/[id]` — new detail route: source editor with save
(calls update, version bumps); Test invoke panel that sends
arbitrary JSON body + headers to /api/execute and shows the
response; Recent executions panel reading from /logs with
expandable per-row request/response/script-log views.
Delete button with confirm. SPA-routed; Caddy serves
`build/` with the same index.html fallback.
== (C) integration tests ==
* crates/picloud/tests/api.rs — 14 sqlx::test cases driving
`build_app` through an axum_test::TestServer against a fresh
Postgres DB per test. Covers: health, full script CRUD,
duplicate-name conflict, invalid-source rejection on both
create and update, execute echoing the body, status+header
passthrough, 404 on missing scripts, error-path executions
landing in the audit log with the right status.
* Tests are `#[ignore]` by default so plain `cargo test
--workspace` stays green without infrastructure. Opt-in via:
`docker compose up -d postgres && \
DATABASE_URL=postgres://picloud:picloud@127.0.0.1:15432/picloud \
cargo test -p picloud --test api -- --include-ignored`
Verified live through Caddy on :8000: three logged invocations
land in the logs endpoint with the right structured `data` on
each `log::info`/`log::warn`, error-path executions are still
captured with status=error, dashboard list + SPA detail route
both reachable.

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
