Running a little experiment about compression

According to Compression Recipe Page, it can greatly decrease the size of the response body, thereby increasing the speed of a web app. In order to check this out, I'll compare the time taken for each request. I'll run the requests on Postman

POST /recipe/new

• Without Compressing
• With Compressing

GET /recipe/all

• Without Compressing
• With Compressing

GET /recipes/:id

• Without Compressing
• With Compressing

PUT /recipes/:id

• Without Compressing
• With Compressing

DELETE /recipes/:id

• Without Compressing
• With Compressing

Conclusion

As promised, it became faster indeed. And though I believed it wouldn't be as evident as it was if the dataset was larger, results showed a noticable difference. In case you want to run these test on your machine, go to src/main.ts and coment an specific line

async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
  // app.use(compression()) comment this line
