Sets up the PiCloud monorepo as a Cargo workspace organised around the
three-service architecture (manager / orchestrator / executor), each
backed by a *-core library crate so the same logic powers both the MVP
all-in-one `picloud` binary and the future split-process cluster mode.
* crates/shared, executor-core, orchestrator-core, manager-core
define the library surface and trait seams between the three
services (`ExecutorClient`, `ScriptResolver`, `ScriptRepository`).
* crates/picloud is the MVP entrypoint; serves /healthz on 8080
(override via PICLOUD_BIND).
* crates/picloud-{manager,orchestrator,executor} are skeleton
binaries that keep the crate boundaries honest until cluster
mode is built out in v1.3+.
* docs/git-workflow.md defines the trunk-based workflow:
short-lived branches, Conventional Commits, separate hotfix
flow with mandatory reproduction tests.
* CLAUDE.md captures the working rules for future Claude sessions.
Workspace passes `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy -D warnings` (with
pedantic enabled), and `cargo test --workspace`. The all-in-one
binary responds on `/healthz` and `/`.

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
