Does Kafka batch when using broker-side compression?

Hi,

does a Kafka broker batch messages together in order to improve compression when using broker-side compression only?

If so, what are the prerequisites to get that behavior? Perhaps a batching of messages at a producer might be beneficial or even mandatory in order to get batches in the log?

In my scenario, there is no compression on the producer, and it is also not planned to introduce it.

Cheers
Sven
