Using the HTTP protocol, is it possible to leverage of HTTP compression (i.e. Content-Encoding: gzip) in order to reduce the body size of a publishEvent, reducing the total cost of IoT core?
I've received a feedback by Google, this is an excerpt:
Cloud IoT supports receiving data on gzip compressed encoding in the REST devices API. Though this approach could save you some bandwidth usage from your devices to Google Cloud, sending compressed data will NOT reduce the total cost of Cloud IoT core. Cloud IoT will account for ingress data the uncompressed version of the data for billing.
