As someone who runs a niche dev shop in India (not the kind that you describe though), I have found that new work has been hard to come by since last 6 months, especially for services like ours that are on the premium end. Even the general

They'd be adequate at running a bunch of services, but cannot bring the connectivity and reliability that AWS provides. I myself have been running a bunch of Chinese Mini-PCs to the same effect since last few years now, and found Reddi

I just left my well-paying job to start working on my idea about 4 months back. I didn't have much savings (I've been hasty to quit my job), so I am working on consulting gigs part time. It pays enough to cover my bills and petty expenses r
