This is using slightly different settings than with nginx, but most of them seem reasonable:
Note that I've successfully tested this out on our staging environment at https://staging-crates-io.herokuapp.com/. Interestingly, brotli compression worked for https://staging-crates-io.herokuapp.com/, but not when accessed via https://staging.crates.io/. My assumption is that brotli compression is currently disabled on CloudFront for some reason and it is re-encoding the responses with gzip. I will talk to the infra team about this next week, but I don't consider it a blocking concern.
