Subject: [PATCH] perf: add gzip compression middleware to reduce payload size

This commit adds `GZipMiddleware` to the FastAPI application to compress HTTP responses larger than 1000 bytes. This significantly reduces network transfer times and bandwidth for API payloads and static files, improving the overall application performance and loading speed.

Impact: Reduces the size of transmitted static assets (like JS/CSS) and JSON responses, leading to faster load times.
Measurement: Verify by checking the `Content-Encoding: gzip` header on network requests using curl (e.g. `curl -s -I -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/js/main.js`).
