A system, a method, and a computer program product for generation and consumption of global numbers. A range of global numbers for consumption by a plurality of processes of a software application in a plurality of software applications is generated. The range of global numbers is generated in accordance with one or more requirements of the software application and includes a plurality of blocks of global numbers. The generated range of global numbers is provided to the software application for consumption by the plurality of processes. Each process is assigned a block of global numbers in the plurality of blocks of global numbers and consumes the assigned block of global numbers. A count of global numbers in the global number range consumed by each process in the plurality of processes is determined. Another range of global numbers is generated upon determination of the count being below a predefined threshold.
