Ember CLI Deploy Gzip Plugin

ember-cli-deploy-gzip is a plugin for the Ember CLI Deploy ecosystem, designed to perform in-place gzip compression of static assets as part of a deployment pipeline. Its primary function is to prepare files for upload to asset hosts that expect pre-compressed content, ensuring efficient delivery. The current stable version is 3.0.0, released recently with updated dependencies and Node.js version requirements, maintaining active development. While it does not follow a fixed release cadence, updates are typically driven by Ember CLI or Node.js compatibility needs, or bug fixes. A key differentiator is its seamless integration into the `ember-cli-deploy` workflow, allowing declarative configuration for which file types to compress, including an `ignorePattern` for specific exclusions. It also offers the option to use `node-zopfli` for stronger (though slower) compression. This plugin abstracts away the direct use of compression libraries, providing a higher-level, deployment-focused solution for Ember applications.
