Amazon API Gateway now adds support for Content Encoding for API responses

In Amazon API Gateway the users can now enable Content-Encoding support for API responses. Content-Encoding permits the API clients to request content to be compressed before sending it back in response to an API request. This will decrease the quantity of the data that is sent from the API Gateway to the API client and reduces the time to transfer the data. You can also allow content encoding in the API definition. You can select the minimum response size that will provoke compression. In APIs, Default Content-Encoding support is not enabled.
