I've personally used LZ4 on production a scale that really proves how using a compression like LZ4 is more efficient than uncompressed data https://doordash.engineering/2019/01/02/speeding-up-redis-wi...

I've been using it reliably for the past several years for government documents needed for academic research. ~20mm documents that range from very small to 10s of MB. Each one is compressed using LZ4 and, overall, it's ~10% of the uncompressed size. Compressed it's about 2TB of data. It's unbelievable how fast they decompress.
