[Question] Creating a custom REST Api
Hi, this is a question rather than support. I used appwrite to create an education tech platform. However, there are some apis I need to expose for people to build on top our functionality. If I create a function and add the routes in that, will appwrite functions time out as usual or they will execute properly? By timing out I mean that dreaded 30 seconds hard limit.
TL;DR
- Developer wants to create a custom REST API using Appwrite.
- Function timeout limit can be edited in Appwrite.
- To increase the timeout limit beyond 900 seconds in a self-hosted environment, modify the `.env` file and restart the Appwrite stack.
- Question: Will Appwrite functions time out as usual if routes are added for the custom API? 
Its not a hard limit, you can edit those settings. Go to Functions > Settings Tab > Scroll to Timeout settings. Max, afaik is 900 seconds, but since you are self-hosted, you can increase the timeout via the .env file and restart the appwrite stack.
