Hey, I don't think the SDK allows enabling gzip. However, it looks like you're hitting the default gRPC max request size of 4MB, You can temporarily increase that by changing the
server.advanced.grpc.maxRecvMsgSizeBytesCharith (Cerbos)

It's not documented specifically because we don't recommend changing the default for performance reasons. But you can see where it fits in the config file here: https://docs.cerbos.dev/cerbos/latest/configuration/#full-configuration

As always, you can pass it as a command line parameter too:
--set=server.advanced.grpc.maxRecvMsgSizeBytes=10485760z
