Shorter timeouts of api requests

[bjoerge]

HTTP calls to external services should have shorter timeouts. It looks the default timeout is < 60 seconds, which makes the app hang until it eventually gets killed by the master unicorn process.

A solution will be to set the timeout to ~ 10-30 seconds and raise an error to be logged.

The only pebble that I could see taking a significant amount of time at the moment is tiramisu. As far as I can tell, any other pebble that takes as much as 10 seconds to respond is probably in distress.

Could we have a default at 10 seconds (or something) and override this for tiramisu? Does tiramisu even use pebblebed?

Yeah, an overridable 10s should be sufficient in most cases I guess.

Don't think Tiramisu use pebblebed to communicate with other pebbles (it only talks to S3, afaik). But other services/apps using Tiramisu may benefit from a longer timeout. I.e. when uploading, depending on the size of the file, the request may (in rare cases) take a a little longer than 10 seconds. This also depends on the connection to S3.
