The problem is the absence of a meta package of Solana SDK based docker images that allows Solana Devs to Have a (dedicated) Solana RPC clusters running on Akash network that’s local to developer’s app .

By running Deidicated Solana RPC cluster on Akash it will allow Devs at 1/3 of the costs relative to AWS, to autoscale based on user demand, relax rate limits according to their application, and have peace of mind that other applications’ users won’t crowd their’s out.
