How to set rails request timeout longer?

Question

My app is built on rails and the web server is puma.

I need to load data from database and it takes more than 60 seconds to load all of them. Every time I send a get request to the server, I have to wait more than 60 seconds.

The timeout of request get is 60 seconds, so I always get 504 gateway timeout. I can't find the place to change the request timeout in puma configuration. How can I set the request timeout longer than 60 seconds?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Apparently worker_timeout is NOT the answer, as it relates to the whole process hanging, not just an individual request. So it seems to be something Puma doesn't support, and the developers are expecting you to implement it with whatever is fronting Puma, such as Nginx.

ORIGINAL: Rails itself doesn't time out, but use worker_timeout in config/puma.rb if you're running Puma. Example:

worker_timeout (246060) if ENV['RAILS_ENV']=='development'
