Discussion about adding brotli compression to Sanity's CDN

Any thoughts about supporting brotli as well as gzip?

I’ll have a look at how we can support it, thanks for the tip!

Sweet, could be as easy as your CDN settings :)

You would think that 😄 Of course Google CDN leaves compression to the servers behind it, and my particular server version is still waiting for brotli support. I'll keep an eye on it though!

Cheers Nicolas :)

Especially funny since Brotli is from google 😂

Hm our apicdn might be able to support brotli, would that be interesting? Or are you on the api primarily?

Yeah we’re on CDN :)

It's working in staging! https://txmoes4e.apicdn.sanity.work/v1/data/query/production?query=%5B*%5B_id%20in%20%5B%2[…]e%2CreleaseDate%2Cposter%2CcastMembers%7D%5D%5B0...1%5D
We'll do some testing and plan a release of the change
😄

Holy crap, fastest feature request I ever saw.
Can you do draft ref draft and inline new referenced document next
😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

Thanks y’a legend Nicolas :)

We’re starting a performance bash in 12hrs and you’re already getting wins on the board for us ❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Haha! Nice 😄 ❤️

Love to be distracted by nice shiny features 😉

Well if it was that easy to speed up sanity CDN by up to a quarter I’d say it’s a pretty sweet distraction!

and it's live! Look for

*content-encoding:* br

in the response headers 😄

Nice!!! Thanks Nicholas.

Let me know if there are more infra features we can do 😉

You know it :) <3

ooooh, can we do it for SVGs too? Definitely already compressing more on the graphql CDN 🙂, a random example query i just did got 6% smaller

Also interested in what kind of perf timing diff you’re seeing. Its possible it could be a slower first call and faster subsequent calls, very interested in how it impacts your times 🙂

I added brotli for svg's too!

It's stored as brottli compressed inside varnish, and transcoded to gzip if client does not support brottli.

Very cool. Seeing a range of not much to 15% smaller depending on the svg for us in prod. Thanks again Nicholas!
