One of the data compression algorithms, it is a universal solution for a variety of workloads, providing a balance between the speed of LZ4 and the compression rate of GZIP. CPU load depends on the selected level (from 1 to 19): at the minimum level ZSTD-1 works with performance comparable to LZ4, and at the maximum level ZSTD-19 achieves GZIP-9 compression, but is about 30% faster. This algorithm is ideal for Kubernetes virtual machines, DevOps artifacts, and NFS file systems.
