Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm

Summary

Zstandard, or zstd, is a fast lossless compression algorithm developed by Facebook. It's designed to be efficient for real-time data compression and decompression, making it ideal for scenarios where both speed and compression ratio are important.

Problem Solved

In many computing scenarios, there is a trade-off between data compression ratio and processing speed. Traditional algorithms often prioritize one over the other. Zstandard addresses this by offering a balanced solution that delivers high compression ratio while maintaining very fast compression and decompression speeds, crucial for real-time data handling.
