storage.compress() - RevoEngine

`storage.compress()`

Streams an existing file to a separate .gz file in the same folder. Awaits publication within the current executor’s limits. A retry with the same idempotency key reuses the compression session. Omit the key to use the current source generation as the retry identity.

Overloads

static compress(storageEntryId: string, options?: { idempotencyKey?: string }): Promise<StorageEntryView>;

static compress(namespace: string, storageEntryId: string, options?: { idempotencyKey?: string }): Promise<StorageEntryView>;

Example

const gz = await storage.compress(file.storageEntryId, { idempotencyKey: 'daily-export-2026-11-10' });
const download = await storage.getDownload(gz.storageEntryId);
