Amazon API gateway timeout

Question

I have some issue with API gateway. I made a few API methods, sometimes they work longer than 10 seconds and Amazon returns 504 error. Here is screenshot below:

Please help! How can I increase timeout?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Right now the default limit for Lambda invocation or HTTP integration is 30s according to http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/limits.html and this limit is not configurable.

Answer 2

As of Dec/2017, the maximum value is still 29 seconds, but should be able to customize the timeout value.

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/customize-integration-timeouts-in-amazon-api-gateway/

This can be set in "Integration Request" of each method in APIGateway.

Answer 3

You can't increase the timeout, at least not now. Your endpoints must complete in 10 seconds or less. You need to work on improving the speed of your endpoints.
