But if the productivity boost is any indication, you should be getting better value out of a given dev, even if it means a higher salary. And it's not uncommon to still find people in the US for under $60k without having to go offshore for your development needs.

What technical difficulties? This needs explanation, because I have yet to find a problem that can't be solved with either native ruby or a gem with a clever native extension. And some of the context of your other responses hints that you might not be familiar with the concept of microservices to solve some of your more-complicated-but-still-easily-compartmentalized business logic.

What do you mean "finding hosting"? Literally throw any decent image on a Digital Ocean droplet or AWS EC2 instance for $5/mo. and you're done. If you're having other people manage your hosting for your Ruby applications for you, then I think we're having two different conversations as two different people.
