It's so cool how much just changing the compression algorithm does.
Since v4.6 the Coolify docker image uses zstd instead of gzip for layer compression. A pull on amd64 downloads 184 MB instead of 216 MB, 15% less.

hydrant.klbr.net/api/stream/#... added this where events are put into STAR and compressed with zstd! its nice because it doesnt go through the db or stream path at all, useful if u want to backfill a bunch of services and dont want to overload your instance (for ex, like tangled bobbins)

⚗️ Elixir Tip #59 - Compressing data ⚗️
Sensor logs and JSON payloads tend to compress really well. No need for a 3rd party library since OTP ships with :zlib out of the box, and :zstd as of OTP 28!

NSComp decompresses game data in 0.89 ms. zstd takes 25.8 ms for the same file. Compression ratio is nearly identical (7.54x vs 7.26x). You save nothing on disk. You save 29x on load time. That's the gap.

i didnt bother with a better way to store it that takes less space (zstd already does well enough for this and its decomp is fast), since the whole point of it was to have something that will take nothing to stream other than bandwidth / disk io and STAR does that nicely, thanks @bad-example.com

What works today, with no protocol change:
A Jetstream that keeps records as Dagr used 4.7× less CPU per event over a 24-hour live run. Its events are 191 B raw vs 282 B for Jetstream's JSON + zstd.
Unmodified Jetstream clients still get byte-identical JSON events.

Crusoe says zstd cuts cold image pulls 2.4 to 3.0 times versus gzip. No venue prices that claim, odds are absent, volume is zero and nothing moved. That absence is the tell for a benchmark with no adoption market. Not financial advice. Markets move fast. The obvious read is convert to zstd and pocket minutes on every cold start. I doubt it is that clean. Crusoe said a 3.6 GB CUDA image fell from 51.5 seconds to 17.4 seconds after conversion in its managed Kubernetes tests. Crusoe said a 24.3 GB NeMo image fell from 394 seconds to 152 seconds in the same three-trial cold-pull setup. Crusoe put pod startup gains at 2.2 to 2.4 times in fresh-pod tests with caches cleared. Crusoe is right about where time goes. Crusoe measured unpack at about 80 percent of pull time on 7 GB and 13 GB images, with containerd unpacking one layer at a time by default. Crusoe said moving the registry in-region saved only 8 percent, 51.5 seconds versus 56.2 seconds from Nvidia public. Compression is the bottleneck. The conversion tax lands on push and provenance. Crusoe said the Go encoder in skopeo and BuildKit compresses near 180 MB/s while...

I'm seeing a lot of progress on lightweight encodings, but using stronger and slower compression might make more sense for reducing storage costs depending on the workload. Zstd at higher compression levels is more compelling now.
