Hello, @parth24
Would you mind sharing more details about the 504 timeouts? Have you checked the weblogs to track down the exact error message and also do you run the Node.js server with Nginx for example?
If you’re using Nginx make sure to check the value of client_max_body_size and also check for the memory usage on the droplet during the file uploads.
A similar issue was described in this question in our community:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
