How to Enable GZIP compression on Play Framework 1 app on Heroku Cedar?

Question

I'd like to enable GZIP compression for public assets and HTTP responses for performance. My site has a lot of mobile access.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing built into Play Framework to support this, and Heroku doesn't seem to have a solution either.

What is the best way to start getting some compression on my app?
