Everyone talks about moving to the cloud, but is it always the right choice?

For a small business with stable workloads (website, email, file storage, backups, internal apps), does buying a server once and running it for 5–7 years make more financial sense than paying cloud bills every month?

I'm also thinking from a business perspective. If you were starting a business today with a small budget, what service would you offer that brings recurring monthly income?

I'd love to hear real experiences from people who run infrastructure or do businesses from home network not just theory or marketing.

Thanks to the unusually clear weather, the Himalayan range was visible from Jaynagar near the India Nepal border. Many locals believe that the peak in the distance could be Mount Everest.

Has anyone else witnessed such views or knows which peak this might be?

P.S. I recently created r/MagadhBihar as a community to discuss the history, culture, languages, photography, and heritage of Magadh and Bihar. Anyone interested is welcome to join and contribute. 🙏

I'm curious about where these roles are most popular and well compensated.

• Which countries offer the highest salaries for DevOps, SRE, and Forward Deployed Engineers?
• Where is the demand strongest?
• Are Forward Deployed Engineer roles mostly concentrated in the US, or are they common elsewhere as well?
• How do compensation and work-life balance compare across regions?

Would love to hear from people working in different countries and companies.

I often see many SRE and DevOps roles globally, but Forward Deployed Engineer positions seem much rarer. I'm wondering whether that's because they're concentrated in specific countries or mostly found in certain types of companies.

If possible, please mention:

• Country/region
• Role (DevOps, SRE, FDE, etc.)
• Years of experience
• Company type (startup, product company, consulting, FAANG, enterprise)
• Approximate salary range (if comfortable sharing)
• Work-life balance and on-call expectations

More details would help everyone understand the differences better. Thanks!

DevOps Engineers: Which companies are genuinely hiring right now? (No ghost jobs)

Many of us are applying to roles that never seem to get reviewed.

If you've recently:

• Had a DevOps/SRE interview
• Received a rejection (which means applications were actually reviewed)
• Know someone who was hired recently
• Work at a company with open remote DevOps roles

Please share:

• Company
• Role (DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineer, etc.)
• Remote requirements (worldwide, specific time zones, etc.)
• How you know they're actively hiring

Tired of applying to jobs that never respond or seem permanently open?

Let's build a list of companies that are genuinely hiring right now.

If you've recently:

• Received an interview invitation
• Got a rejection email (which means someone actually reviewed applications)
• Know a company that hired someone this month
• Work at a company with open remote positions

Please share:

Company:
Role:
Country/Timezone Requirements:
Tech Stack (if applicable):
Application Link:
How do you know they're actively hiring? (Interviewed, referral, coworker joined recently, etc.)

Example:

Company: Example Inc.
Role: Backend Engineer (Python)
Location: Worldwide (UTC ±4)
Tech Stack: Python, FastAPI, AWS, PostgreSQL
Status: Friend received an interview call this week.

The goal is to help job seekers avoid ghost jobs and focus on opportunities where companies are actually reviewing applications.

Please avoid:

• Referral spam
• Affiliate links
• Unverified job boards
• Recruiter advertisements without active openings

Disclosure: I run a small software consultancy in India.

We recently built an e-commerce platform for local shops using FastAPI, Docker, and Linux servers. The platform includes inventory management, our own payment gateway integration, doorstep logistics support, and can be deployed either on cloud infrastructure or on-premise servers, depending on the client's needs.

One challenge we're working on is inventory synchronization across multiple B2C marketplaces (Amazon, flipkart, Meesho)to avoid overselling and keep stock levels accurate in near real time.

For those who have built similar systems:

• Do you prefer event-driven architectures or periodic sync jobs?
• How do you handle concurrent updates from multiple sales channels?
• What tools or patterns have worked well for you?

I'd love to hear about your experiences and lessons learned.

• How do you handle conflicts when two platforms update inventory simultaneously?
• Are there any tools or patterns that have worked particularly well for you?

I'd love to hear about your experiences and lessons learned.

Hi everyone,

I have around 10 years of experience in:

• Linux administration (RHCSA)
• SQL and application support
• Python scripting
• DevOps tools (Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions)

I also started my own small company, Compute Labs, to attract international clients and provide technical services. While I gained some valuable experience, I found that growing it further requires a stronger network and business support, so I'm currently looking for full-time or remote opportunities.

I'm based in India and finding it difficult to get responses from LinkedIn and Naukri.

How do experienced Linux admins here find legitimate remote or international opportunities?

Any advice, platforms, or communities that have worked for you would be greatly appreciated.
