Optimize store for large datasets

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

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

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

Start by locating the service configuration entry point and the deployment path that handles production services. Trace how configuration options are read, then verify that enable_compression defaults to false and that enabling it applies compression to the intended services.
