Datadog has developed and released Go bindings for the czlib (zlib wrapper) and zstd compression libraries. These bindings are designed to improve performance for data pipelines that rely on compression, offering faster compression and decompression rates compared to pure Go implementations. The czlib binding is a fork of vitess's cgzip, adapted for zlib wrapping. The zstd binding mimics the zlib interface and exposes advanced features like stream compression and compression levels. Benchmarks show significant performance gains.
