Gunicorn timeout not working

Question

I am running a Gunicorn server with a Flask web app. I use the following command to start the server

gunicorn -c /config/serverConfig.py app:APP

Inside serverConfig.py , I have timeout = 180

Howevever, the long running calls timeout after 120 seconds.

Is there something I should be doing differently?

Answer 1

My app is running on a container group on the Bluemix cloud, and there is a 120s time out limit for the load balancer in front of the container. This was overriding whatever timeout I had in my app.
