  • zstd

    Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm

    zstd, whether you want to favor speed or ratio or both its just the best

  • ZLib

    A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.

  • Snappy

    A fast compressor/decompressor

  • LZ4

    Extremely Fast Compression algorithm

    lz4 for maximum decompression speed, for data that is often read but rarely written

  • xxHash

    Extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm

    Interestingly they were both developed along xxHash by the great Yann Collet who makes my country proud !

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.
