  Can I use this in my own project? I mean, is there an open source library for that?

  Unfortunatly the linked nginx module [1] seems to be unmaintained since 2016. While there is a more maintained fork [2] it seems like neither the Ubuntu [3] nor the Debian team [4] want to package it due to open bugs and security concerns. It's really surprising considering how widespread Brotli support is, that there isn't a better nginx support for it.
