Adds the v1.1.0 user-visible stdlib: regex, random, time, json, base64, hex, url — each exposed as a `::` namespace mirroring the existing `log::` pattern. Modules register once at engine build via `Engine::register_static_module`, distinct from the stateful service modules (KV, docs, …) that hook into `sdk::register_all` per call. - regex: linear-time, compile-per-call (no cache by design) - random: OsRng only; bytes/string capped to prevent script-side blow-up - time: UTC, ms-since-epoch as canonical i64; RFC 3339 strings for I/O - json: parse/stringify via existing dynamic<->json bridge - base64: standard + URL-safe alphabets, Blob and String inputs - hex: lowercase output, case-insensitive decode - url: RFC 3986 percent-encoding + encode_query for Maps Stdlib registration runs unconditionally — including in the parse-only validate path — so scripts get a uniform surface in both phases. See docs/sdk-shape.md for the stateless-vs-stateful distinction. 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
