Lays down the v1.1.3 plumbing:
- `ScriptKind` enum in `picloud-shared` ('endpoint' | 'module').
- `ModuleSource` trait + `ModuleScript` DTO + `NoopModuleSource` in
`picloud-shared`. Resolver lives in `executor-core`; Postgres impl
in `manager-core` (`PostgresModuleSource`).
- `Services::new` grows a fifth `modules: Arc<dyn ModuleSource>` arg.
- `ScriptValidator` returns `ValidatedScript { imports }` so the
manager can populate the dep-graph table on save. New
`validate_module` method on the trait gates module-shape rules.
- `Engine::execute_ast(&Arc<rhai::AST>, req)` lets the orchestrator's
script cache reuse compiled ASTs. `Engine::execute(&str, req)` is
preserved as a convenience that compiles inline. `Engine::compile`
exposes the AST for callers that want to cache.
- `PicloudModuleResolver` replaces `DummyModuleResolver` per-call.
Bridges Rhai's sync `ModuleResolver::resolve` to async
`ModuleSource::lookup` via `Handle::block_on`. Enforces:
- cross-app isolation (resolver captures `Arc<SdkCallCx>`),
- circular import detection (in-progress stack on the resolver),
- import depth limit (default 8 via
`Limits::module_import_depth_max`).
- Module-shape validation walks `ast.statements()` via `rhai/internals`
and accepts only `Var { CONSTANT }`, `Import`, and `Noop`. The
manager admin endpoint runs `validate_module` at save (primary
gate); resolver re-runs it at load (defense in depth).
- LRU cache `(AppId, name) -> (updated_at, Arc<Module>)` owned by
`Engine`. Size from `PICLOUD_MODULE_CACHE_SIZE` (default 512).
- Migration `0015_scripts_kind.sql` adds `scripts.kind` + composite
index + module-name shape CHECK.
- Migration `0016_script_imports.sql` adds the dep-graph table with
FK CASCADE on both columns.
- Repo: `kind` threaded through SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE. New
`count_routes_for_script` / `count_triggers_for_script` /
`list_imports` methods. `create`/`update` open a transaction and
call `replace_imports_tx` to populate the dep-graph.
- Admin endpoint: accepts `kind`; rejects reserved module names;
rejects `endpoint → module` transitions when routes / triggers
exist.
- SDK_VERSION 1.3 → 1.4.
Workspace builds; full test suite (~440 tests) green.

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
