To add compress middleware of express, I find this thread and

sails-middleware-example-issue are very usefull.

1. install express local: npm install express
2. load express: var exp = require('express')
3. add customMiddleware in $app_dir/config/local.js

express: {
    customMiddleware: function (app) {
      console.log("config of Middleware is called");
      app.use(exp.logger());
      app.use(exp.compress());
      app.use(function (req, res, next) {
        console.log("installed customMiddleware is used");
        next();
      })
    }
  }
