Comment on We could save petabytes of cache storage with Zstandard and Pingoraparent

I suspect it just hasn’t been a priority problem in the past. This could very well have been a premature optimization when compared to getting services up and running reliably.

They've had cdn forever. How could cutting storage and bandwidth needs by 2/3 not have been a priority...?

Both were incredibly cheap until a few years ago, but I have no insights into their business.
