AWS Code Build - Account Limit Exceeded Exception

Question

Hi Team,

We are using AWS Code Build & Deploy to deploy our 30 microservice based application. Now when ever we are relasing new features in staging or production the requirement is to rebuild all 30 of these services. But we get errored due to AWS maximum build limit : 
`Error calling startBuild: Cannot have more than 3 builds in queue for the account (Service: AWSCodeBuild; Status Code: 400; Error Code: AccountLimitExceededException; Request ID: a8498350-d3fd-47cd-8c9c-60e60fd206ba; Proxy: null)`

We do understand there is a limit but in that case we will need AWS to hold off rather than failing and retrigger after some time. Basically work as pool rather than failing completely.

Workaround - We are doing it manually one by one.

Any advice would be greatly helpful !

Answer

Hi,

I suggest you contacting AWS Support and requesting the quota increase for the number of concurrent builds in AWS CodeBuild.

The following [AWS documentation page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/latest/userguide/request-quota-increase.html) describes step by step how to request a quota increase using AWS Management Console.

Hi Prashant, I assume you went through this already: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/builds-working.html and no further optimisations can be done?
