Research direction
Examine Drogon's existing compression support (e.g., gzip) in the source code, likely in middleware or filter classes. Review the zstd library API and documentation. Then implement a new compression filter for zstd by following the pattern of the existing compression implementation. Ensure proper integration with the HTTP Content Encoding negotiation.
