Created extensive documentation for the DG_MAX_RATIO parameter, which
controls delta compression efficiency thresholds.
New Documentation:
- docs/DG_MAX_RATIO.md (526 lines)
* Complete explanation of how DG_MAX_RATIO works
* Real-world scenarios and use cases
* Decision trees for choosing optimal values
* Industry-specific recommendations
* Monitoring and tuning strategies
* Advanced usage patterns
* Comprehensive FAQ
Updates to Existing Documentation:
- README.md: Added link to DG_MAX_RATIO guide with tip callout
- CLAUDE.md: Added detailed DG_MAX_RATIO explanation and guide link
- Dockerfile: Added inline comments explaining DG_MAX_RATIO tuning
- docs/sdk/getting-started.md: Added DG_MAX_RATIO guide reference
Key Topics Covered:
- What DG_MAX_RATIO does and why it exists
- How to choose the right value (0.2-0.7 range)
- Real-world scenarios (nightly builds, major versions, etc.)
- Industry-specific use cases (SaaS, mobile apps, backups, etc.)
- Configuration examples (Docker, SDK, CLI)
- Monitoring and optimization strategies
- Advanced usage patterns (dynamic ratios, A/B testing)
- FAQ addressing common questions
Examples Included:
- Conservative (0.2-0.3): For dissimilar files or expensive storage
- Default (0.5): Balanced approach for most use cases
- Permissive (0.6-0.7): For very similar files or cheap storage
Value Proposition:
- Helps users optimize compression for their specific use case
- Prevents inefficient delta compression
- Provides data-driven tuning methodology
- Reduces support questions about compression behavior

Added dpkg configuration to exclude man pages, docs, and other unnecessary
files during apt-get install. This significantly speeds up Docker builds
by skipping the slow man-db triggers.
Before: ~30-60 seconds processing man pages
After: <5 seconds

DeltaGlider reduces storage costs by storing only binary deltas between
similar files. Achieves 99.9% compression for versioned artifacts.
Key features:
- Intelligent file type detection (delta for archives, direct for others)
- Drop-in S3 replacement with automatic compression
- SHA256 integrity verification on every operation
- Clean hexagonal architecture
- Full test coverage
- Production tested with 200K+ files
Case study: ReadOnlyREST reduced 4TB to 5GB (99.9% compression)
