From b2e9c98cee1e10212b14945061958b75dcb1204a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: igoramf Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 18:07:28 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] feat(sdk): opt-in OTLP payload compression (gzip + zstd) Wires `Content-Encoding` on the three OTLP/HTTP exporters (logs, metrics, traces) behind `DECO_OTEL_COMPRESSION=gzip|zstd`. Default remains `none` to preserve current wire behavior for collectors not configured for compression. - gzip: native `CompressionStream("gzip")`. Zero deps, all runtimes. - zstd: `node:zlib.zstdCompress`. Requires `nodejs_compat` on workerd (landed via cloudflare/workerd#4013) and Node >=22 on k8s. Silently falls back to gzip when unavailable; `Content-Encoding` always reflects the actual encoding used. On typical OTLP JSON batches: gzip ~-94%, zstd ~-95% (and ~2-3x faster to decode collector-side).
