  • timeouts are in ms
  • lock timeout: in postgres, when a statement that wants a restrictive lock waits on another lock, other statements that want locks can't jump the queue. so even though the statement that is waiting might only take a very short amount of time, when it starts running, while it is waiting no other statements can begin. So we set the lock timeout pretty low and retry if we don't get it.
  • statement timeout: we set a short statement timeout before statements which do lock and which we expect to take a short amount of time, just in case something about our assumptions/understanding is wrong and the statement ends up taking a long time. if this happens the statement will bail early without causing harm, and we can investigate what is wrong with
