 * `experimental_concurrency`: Specify a limit of concurrent go routines for flushing records to kinesis.  By default `experimental_concurrency` is set to 0 and records are flushed in Fluent Bit's single thread. This means that requests to Kinesis will block the execution of Fluent Bit.  If this value is set to `4` for example then calls to Flush records from fluentbit will spawn concurrent go routines until the limit of `4` concurrent go routines are running.  Once the `experimental_concurrency` limit is reached calls to Flush will return a retry code.  The upper limit of the `experimental_concurrency` option is `10`.  WARNING:  Enabling `experimental_concurrency` can lead to data loss if the retry count is reached.  Enabling concurrency will increase resource usage (memory and CPU).
 * `experimental_concurrency_retries`: Specify a limit to the number of retries concurrent goroutines will attempt.  By default `4` retries will be attempted before records are dropped.
 * `aggregation`: Setting `aggregation` to `true` will enable KPL aggregation of records sent to Kinesis.  This feature isn't compatible with the `partition_key` feature.  See the KPL aggregation section below for more details.
-* `compression`: Setting `compression` to `zlib` will enable zlib compression of each record.  By default this feature is disabled and records are not compressed.
+* `compression`: Specify an algorithm for compression of each record. Supported compression algorithms are `zlib` and `gzip`. By default this feature is disabled and records are not compressed.
 * `replace_dots`: Replace dot characters in key names with the value of this option. For example, if you add `replace_dots _` in your config then all occurrences of `.` will be replaced with an underscore. By default, dots will not be replaced.
