AgileData.io - Faster Transfers: Gzip Compression for Large API Responses

We’ve implemented gzip compression for large JSON API responses, significantly reducing transfer times and improving application performance. This behind-the-scenes optimization makes the application more responsive, especially when working with large catalogs or detailed data views.

When the application requests large amounts of data—like a full catalog listing, detailed lineage information, or comprehensive statistics—the size of the JSON response can slow down transfer over the network. By compressing these responses with gzip, we dramatically reduce the amount of data that needs to travel between server and browser, making everything feel faster.

What’s New:

Automatic gzip compression for large JSON API responses
Transparent compression/decompression that works behind the scenes
Significant reduction in network transfer time for large payloads
Improved performance for catalog, lineage, and statistics views
Better experience on slower network connections

What this means for you:

Faster page loads when viewing large catalogs or complex data models
More responsive application, especially with extensive data landscapes
Better performance on mobile or remote connections
Reduced data transfer costs in bandwidth-constrained environments
Smoother experience when working with comprehensive views and reports
