Does Google Cloud API Gateway come with a Configurable Timeout?

Question

I've looked through the Google Cloud API Gateway docs and searched the public issue tracker but haven't been able to find a mention of it one way or another.

The closest I've come is this google groups thread from 4 months ago, which suggests that it may be 60 seconds, but I haven't been able to confirm this or determine if it's out-of-date yet.

TL;DR

I'm looking for alternatives to AWS API Gateway (which has a fixed 30 second timeout) and so am trying to figure out if GCP API Gateway would work as an alternative on this particular point.

Yes, GCP API gateway does support custom timeout lengths. In your open api spec, underneath "x-google-backend:", insert "deadline: z" where z is the number of seconds till timeout.

Example:

    x-google-backend:
         address: [this-is-your-address]
         deadline: 60.0

The above will give a deadline of 60 seconds.
