I'm not normally a fan of sharing ALBs between services as a lot of the metrics [1] are only recorded for the load balancer as a whole, not each individual target group (an application attached to the load balancer).

I can see the advantages of cost savings, but it's definitely a tradeoff.

Hasn't been an issue for us but I agree. It's painful to pay them $20+ just for the sake of fine-granular metrics though.
