## What & why Node's HTTP server defaults `keepAliveTimeout` to **5s**, which is shorter than the idle keep-alive timeout of common reverse proxies / load balancers (nginx `upstream-keepalive-timeout` and AWS ALB both default to **60s**). twenty-server currently calls `app.listen()` without overriding these, so it runs on the 5s default. When Node closes an idle keep-alive socket that the proxy still has pooled, the proxy's next request races the close and gets a TCP reset. nginx logs: ``` recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream ``` and returns a **502** to the client. This is payload- and endpoint-independent: in prod it hit `/graphql`, `/metadata`, `/mcp` and the app-publish tarball upload alike, at a low continuous rate, on healthy pods (no restarts, ~64% memory, no CPU throttling). This is the well-documented "Node behind ALB/nginx 502" race. The fix is the standard one: make the **server** idle timeout **longer** than the proxy's, so the proxy is always the side that closes idle connections. ## Changes - Set `server.keepAliveTimeout` / `server.headersTimeout` in `main.ts` from config. - Add two env-overridable config vars (`SERVER_CONFIG` group), with safe defaults above the typical 60s proxy timeout: - `SERVER_KEEP_ALIVE_TIMEOUT_MS` (default **65000**) - `SERVER_HEADERS_TIMEOUT_MS` (default **66000**) - `headersTimeout` is clamped to `keepAliveTimeout + 1s` at startup, since Node requires `headersTimeout >= keepAliveTimeout` (otherwise it re-introduces the same race). - Document both in `.env.example`. Defaults fix the issue out of the box. The env vars exist because self-hosters sit behind many proxies (Cloudflare, Traefik, ALB, nginx) with different idle timeouts — mirroring how Next.js exposes `--keepAliveTimeout`, and how Fastify (72s) and Kestrel (130s) ship safe-by-default values. ## Test - `environment-config.driver.spec.ts` passes. - `nx typecheck twenty-server` clean for the changed files (only a pre-existing, unrelated `ical-generator` module-resolution error remains). <!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. --> <a href="https://cubic.dev/pr/twentyhq/twenty/pull/22327?utm_source=github" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-no-image-dialog="true"><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-light.svg"><img alt="Review in cubic" src="https://www.cubic.dev/buttons/review-in-cubic-dark.svg"></picture></a> <!-- End of auto-generated description by cubic. -->

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
