I want to reduce the number of load balancers to reduce costs on GCP. Since all my exposed services are HTTP services I can use one global forwarding rule and map to the different backend services on different paths.
Pros:
This allows me to have only 2 global forwarding rules (one for HTTP and one for HTTPS) for all HTTP services, thus cutting costs.
Using paths means I can use a free cert from letsencrypt.
Cons
letsencrypt doesn't support wildcard domains so I can't use subdomains and host forwarding rules
