title: gzip in gke with nginx-ingress
body: <p>I'm trying to configure gzip to work in a python application that runs on a kubernetes with nginx-ingress in GKE. But I discovered that it is no use to enable gzip in the ingress-controller config-map because I need to enable compression on the backend as I understand it.</p>
  
  <p>How can I enable compression on the backend of my python application to run gzip on nginx controller?</p>
  
  <p>My main problem is that searching here in stackoverflow I know I need to put the compression in the backend, just do not know how to do this.</p>
