We hit a limit where we have around 20 cloud run services which needs 20 backend services to be created while configuring google load balancer.

Is more than 5 backend services per project unusual? Our's is microservices architecture and we expect more services down the line too.

We requested for quota increase but unfortunately google team rejected saying to make use of existing limit. This makes google cloud load balancer unusable in our case.

Can someone share alternatives for this limit?

Update:

Load balancer type: External Backend Service: Service which needs to be connected to a host url(+path-matcher)

Deployment: gcloud cli

gcloud beta compute backend-services create $backend_service_name \
        --global \
        --enable-cdn \
        --cache-mode USE_ORIGIN_HEADERS \
        --protocol HTTPS \
        --description "$description"

ERROR: (gcloud.beta.compute.backend-services.create) Could not fetch resource:

  • Quota 'BACKEND_SERVICES' exceeded. Limit: 5.0 globally.

  • For what are the backend service? Cloud Run services? Compute engine? What type of load balancer are you using? – guillaume blaquiere May 18 '21 at 07:26
  • https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/quotas#backend_services Backend services we create while linking to a load balancer(External) – Ayyappa May 18 '21 at 08:53
  • I updated with logs. Please have a look. – Ayyappa May 18 '21 at 09:01
  • New accounts have quota limits for resources. For backend services, the default is 5. You can request a quota increase. In the Google Cloud Console, go to IAM -> Quotas. – John Hanley May 18 '21 at 17:38
  • I requested twice. They are saying me to utilise existing quota – Ayyappa May 18 '21 at 20:53
  • You should have put that information in your question. If Google denies your quota increase request, there is no magic that Stackoverflow can perform. Only Google can approve quota increases. – John Hanley May 18 '21 at 20:55
  • I added the suggested info already – Ayyappa May 18 '21 at 21:08
  • You now have your answer: Google must approve your request. I would apply again and list the technical requirements that you have in detail. Note: in my experience when a quota increase is declined, you have a credit issue. Review the credit card that you are using (sufficient credit line). Also, try contacting billing support before requesting another quota increase. – John Hanley May 18 '21 at 21:19
  • @JohnHanley Thanks John. I still have credit of $2k in my account. Its surprising they are declining as its a very basic requirement. – Ayyappa May 19 '21 at 03:53
  • I suggest you rewrite your question with the details you are leaving out. $2k in credits from where and which currency? How old is your account? What type of account? etc. etc. If you have a PM sponsoring you, that will make a difference as he/she can help you. – John Hanley May 19 '21 at 04:23
  • 2k from startup credits promotion. Its around an year old account. – Ayyappa May 19 '21 at 05:09

On my corporate account I can have up to 75 backend services

enter image description here

But also only 5 on my personal project. Only the support can do something for that.
