Description¶

A Proof of Concept (PoC) has been conducted to implement a timeout mechanism for long-running compression processes in the API. If the compression process exceeds 30 seconds, the API will automatically exit the function and return a timeout error to the user. This feature ensures that the API remains responsive and prevents prolonged execution times.

Scope of Work¶

1. Implement Timeout Mechanism

   • Integrate the timeout functionality for compression processes within the API function.
   • If the compression exceeds 30 seconds, the function should exit, and the API should return a timeout error.

2. Error Handling

   • Return an appropriate timeout error response (HTTP status code 408 Request Timeout) if the process exceeds the 30-second limit.
   • Include a clear error message indicating that the process took too long to complete.

3. Testing

• Test the timeout functionality with various compression tasks to confirm it exits after 30 seconds.
• Test to ensure normal compression complete successfully within the time limit.
• Verify that the API responds correctly with a 408 Request Timeout error and message when the process time limit is exceeded.

Acceptance Criteria¶

• The compression process exits and returns a timeout error if it runs for more than 30 seconds.
• The API returns a 408 Request Timeout status with a clear error message if the timeout occurs.
