Two paths bypassed the AST cache: LocalExecutorClient::execute (tests + fallback) and the synchronous invoke() re-entry in the executor SDK. The latter is the hot one — composed workflows multiplied parse cost by depth, so a 4-deep invoke chain on a 200-line script paid the parse budget × 4 per call. Add a per-Engine HashMap<ScriptId, (updated_at, Arc<AST>)> + a `compile_for_identity(script_id, updated_at, source)` helper that behaves like LocalExecutorClient::get_or_compile but lives on the Engine. Update the SDK invoke synchronous re-entry to: resolved → compile_for_identity → execute_ast The orchestrator-core LocalExecutorClient cache (HTTP-path dispatch) is left untouched — it caches a different access pattern at a different boundary.

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
