Following on from https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/answers/questions/502806/gzip-compression-decompression-with-api-management our team was able to learn how to Gzip compress our outbound responses from Azure API Management.

In particular, for anyone finding this on Google I need to add that the approach listed in https://github.com/jiasli/azure-notes/blob/master/api-management/sample-policies.md is the most concise.

Anyway, it got me thinking - is Brotli support coming? Is it already there but needs to be implemented in a specific way?

The type of workloads we deal with in API Management are ideal candidates for compression and it is 2024 - we're seeing many vendors introduce sync/on-the-fly Brotli compression in their products. It feels natural to ask for this feature in API Management too.

I've checked using a similar approach to Gzip and the product doesn't seem to support Brotli compression today. It also strikes me that it might be super easy to miss if and when it does get added because really the Gzip support is not super-well signposted either.
