Cloud-native gateways allow you to configure timeout policies at the route level. In timeout policies, you can specify the maximum period of time in which your gateway waits for responses to requests for a specified route based on your business requirements. If the gateway does not receive responses from the backend service within the specified timeout period, the gateway returns HTTP status code 504 to the client.
