Should my chunks be gzipped?

[alexfoxy]

I've been taking a look at the files created by the next build command and I noticed that none of the files appear to be gzipped:

Is this expected behaviour? I thought gzipping was enabled by default?

gzip is handled at serve time with next start. If you host on Vercel it automatically supports brotli and gzip at the edge (https://vercel.com/edge-network)

I'm using google app engine, so I guess it won't be happening automagically.

[timneutkens]

I will if you're just using next start as said.

Ok thanks
