I am using a Postgres DB to store large JSON data (~2 MB). To view and analyze the data (logfiles from different applications), I have implemented a web server with an Ag-Grid table. Based on Postgrest, I implemented a REST API to retrieve the data on the client (browser) side. All in all, the whole thing runs quite smoothly. However, depending on the network speed, it may take some time (several seconds) for the JSON to be transferred from the DB to the user's browser.Therefore, I am looking for a way to compress the JSON before sending it to the user's browser.
I have seen that there is a Postgres gzip extension to compress data on the DB: https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-gzip
However, this extension seems to be quite old (~5 years). Does anyone know a better idea how I can compress JSON data before sending it to the user's browser via REST call?
Many thanks in advance!
