Rewrites the "When to bump what" section now that the project is
post-1.0. Replaces the pre-1.0 framing with three explicit rules:
- Major: surface major bump on a user-facing contract
- Minor: phase milestone or coherent capability cluster, aligned
with blueprint Phase boundaries (Phase 5 -> v1.2, etc.)
- Patch: bug fixes AND additive-only surface changes
The carve-out (patch for additive surface changes) resolves the
tension with the v1.1.x roadmap: every v1.1.x release adds SDK or
schema surface, and strict "minor product bump per minor surface
bump" would inflate the version faster than the user-perceived
"platform changed" milestones warrant.
Examples updated to reflect post-1.0 numbers and the new policy:
adding KV in v1.1.1 (patch), cutting v1.2 as a phase milestone
(minor), renaming a ctx field (major).

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
