What is the compression rate of an archived file using Mendix API.

Introduction

When creating an archive file from a snapshot using the Mendix API, it is unknown how much the data will compress and what the final archive size will be.

Environment

Applications hosted in Mendix Cloud

Details

The compression rate cannot be predetermined, as it depends heavily on the type and structure of the data involved.

The service used by Mendix utilizes TAR and GZIP formats; the resulting archive size can vary widely and is only known after the compression process is complete.
