Consider deprecating old components API

**Feature request**
It would be great to have compression for data.

**Use case**
Many users need this functionality for production deployments.

**Implementation idea**
Add a new config option `enable_compression` with default `false`.

The issue does not identify any files, tests, entry points, or compression format to investigate. First clarify the mismatch between the title and body, define what data is compressed and where enable_compression applies, then establish tests and an explicit completion condition before implementation.
