As we know that maximum response time for Salesforce REST API is 10 minutes(Refer doc -https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet.meta/salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet/salesforce_app_limits_platform_api.htm), which is quite high. If we explicitly set the maximum response time to 30 seconds at the middle layer and send a response back to the customer as we can not wait long from customer perspective, we also need to consider the scenario where a record is created in SFSC after this explicit expiration and determine how to handle it.
This situation requires careful planning to ensure that data integrity and system performance are maintained effectively by possibly adjusting the middle layer's response time dynamically based on workload and system conditions. It's essential to thoroughly evaluate these options and choose the most suitable approach to ensure smooth system operation and minimize potential disruptions.
